As I was reading @AmartyaSen_Econ’s #HomeInTheWorld and imagining his childhood at #ShantiNiketan where King Amanullah Khan had visited and asked #Tagore to assist in sending teachers for the Habibia school, comes this brilliant piece by @muskanajibullah, “…as Tagore knew, art is not only emotional, it is moral…Those who have silenced song, erased women from public life and bombed the statues of the Buddha were now invoking Tagore: the humanist who saw beauty in universality, who wrote of compassion and who taught us that dignity cannot be dictated. I wondered if anyone in that audience paused to feel the contradiction, to realise that those quoting Kabuliwala today are the same voices that forbid a girl to learn her alphabet.” 👇🏻

He was not dubbed “anti-national” at that time though despite combining with a Chinese to mock an Indian PM. #HomeInTheWorld

It's always fascinating to read/listen Amartya Sen. I had the opportunity to attend his live lecture in Delhi back in 2013. Currently I am reading his memoir and it's quite refreshing and insightful. #homeintheworld

Why would Amartya Sen like you to read King Lear? #sympathy #solidarity #HomeintheWorld किन दुक्पाको कथा लेख्ने? #महाभारा

Despite all the clashes, a “world civilization” exists. This is because “Our ability to learn from each other must not be underestimated”. Amartya Sen #AmartyaSen #HomeintheWorld
