Industry Reviews
"Sen's lucid reasoning and thoroughgoing humanism...ensure a lively and commanding defense of diversity and dialogue."
Publishers Weekly (08/22/2005)

"Sen has attempted--successfully, I think--to write an erudite but accessible handbook on, and in defense of, what is in effect secular Indian modernity..., on its roots in antiquity and its possible direction in the future."
Times Literary Supplement - Amit Chaudhuri (08/05/2005)

"Although the essays in THE ARGUMENTATIVE INDIAN were composed at different times, they have been successfully welded into a single volume. There is much to agree with here. Sen's lofty worldview remains staunchly secular and rationalist, as befits a scholar whose intellectual formation took place in Nehru's India, a historical time zone under constant attack today from Hindu nationalists on the one side and some of the more fashionable Indian luminaries of the US branch of the subaltern school of historians on the other."
Nation - Tariq Ali (12/05/2005)
