The Argumentataive Indian

This book has been written by Amartya Sen, he's a Noble Prize Winner, an Economist and a professor a HSB. It's an amazing book, so far i've finished part 1 of the 3 parts. It's not a book i'd usually settle down with but while watching an interview of Shobha De', she said its wonderful so I thought of reading it to figure out wat is so wonderful about it. The framing of sentences may seem easy at times to comprehend, I've reached so far with the help of a dictonary and re-reading the sentences thrice, at times it's ok to understand but that's rare.
The book talks about India's history, culture, politics and other socio-economic issues. The central theme of the books revolves around the title - the argumentative indian and how India's history, culture, politics become affected by the argumentative nature of her children (he's proved that Indians have always been argumentative), the democracy of the nation depends on it, the fradulant ways of the previous government, the RSS, Shiv Sena, and other political-religious bodies that seem to hinder India's progress along with other issues like social stratification, gender discrimination, the benefits of being argumentative, etc.
I suggest it's a must read if you want to clarify your opinion on the status of India's development. I'll continue on this once I finish the book. I've got Harry Potter 6 lined up next.
