this is always not correct because nes generation learned by the your back generation . starting the life child are seen the father , mother, all family members what they are doing ,why they are speaking ,finally all activity are based on the back generation.
The stark reality of life is that only the poor is killed in every riot or social unrest, as s/he is weak. I haven't come across any rich muslim,or any rich hindu being killed in the past 25 years. Hating a poor is easy, as he is almost defenceless and lack the resource to retaliate. So there is only one identity, the socio-economic status, the rest are all colourful wrapings of little practical value. Unfortunately, this discrimination will continue in future as well and so the debate, as the number of poor will always outnumber the rich, especially in developing countries.
Kadar Mia's factual story is interesting. His only last identity being his way to graveyard. But why is it that we keep finding a one sided story always? How many have refered to the plight of two and half million kashmiri pandits displaced from the valley? Why should we selectively forget Godhra and remember only Gujarat riots???????......
Hope less peace of interview -a right man will have only one identity a professional and a personal. Only the typical hypocrite Indian will like to out his nose in all the aspects of life. Nitin
This book is a work of the Master and the Genius that is Dr Amartya Sen. I have yet to come accross a better work than this. This book is priceless. Infact this book shud be basis of every human beings understanding. Religious Identity and cultural variations was marvellous. Thanks for bringing up this work of you for all of us.
I have observed that like many others Mr.Sen too has selective amnesia or that he has no guts to call a spade a spade. I am sure Dhaka saw more hindu blood then it did of Kadar Mias'. But still like India considered to be a soft target,Hindus are object of experiment,to whom any so called intellect could ridicule and get away without any troubel.
If i am not wrong he is a noble price winner for his work on Economics and it would be a service to us hindus if the press would confine interviewing the likesof Mr.Sen to his area of work.
This country whether you like it or not has a larger Hindu populus and please treat them with due respect. Please stop this suedo-secularisum here!!!
