This is a book tha tis a compiled edition of the number of essays that Dr Amartya Sen has written about various topics ranging from India's history to its culture; Politics to Protests, Reason, its Diaspora included.
The book is a bit heavy if you dont have the patience to read though it. The vocabulary is good. I would advice not to search for links between the various essays and to look at them indivisually. Dont even attempt searching for a flow, you can easily start hating his style of narrration. If you dont read this book at a stretch and get some time for yourself to digest what he has told, this will be a good book, with all its knowlege and experience that is open to the world.
Dr Amartya gives the book the touch of an expert.. he has written it in a very verbose manner and one in which not many can follow. The book deals with a lot of topics and give a very broad view of those concepts. He has given some descrion about Ravindranath Tagore.. who seems to have had a lot of affect on his life. He deals with some nice and interesting concepts like the Sino-Indian relations and others. A very knowledeable book to read.. but be cautious that you expect that it is going to be hard for you in case you think it is for timepass... you will be utterly mistaken.
