Sen is acting sort of a power broker for the leftists. They exagerate claims of marxists, ignore the mass slaughter the marxists have done. They wage a cultural war by capturing the power left by colonialists. They ignore the imperial history of Han chinese, and Islamists to show some good in those places, but would be vurulently anti-hindu. Tagore got most of his philosophy from hinduism, but these peeople duck philosophy, unless they have solid rationalization in marxist terms. This is all sad.
