Begin forwarded message: Greetings everyone, I've just finished reading what can only be described as a truly well-written and wonderfully informative book, THE ARGUMENTATIVE INDIAN penned by an erudite scholar and commentator, Amartya Sen. The author is a Nobel Prize Winner in Economics (the first Asian to be so honored). He is the current Lamont University Professor at Harvard and previously was Master of Trinity College, Cambridge. The book is a collection of essays on Indian History, Culture and Identity. For those of you unfamiliar with this work I highly recommend it as a eye-opening read for anyone who has left a bit of their soul in India. Cheers, ooroo If you don't hear the knock of opportunity - build a door. Anon.
