“I desire unification within the nation. I don’t want strife in a historically liberal nation. We ought to cooperate,” Amartya Sen said.
Kolkata: Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, who was in the city on Thursday, expressed concern about the state of affairs in India and suggested that people struggle to keep their togetherness. He added that there should be no religious differences.
At the Amartya Research Centre’s opening in the Salt Lake area, the renowned economist made a statement, “I believe I would respond “yes” if someone asked if I was afraid of anything. There is now cause for concern. Fear has been caused by the country’s current position.”
He added, “I desire unification within the nation. I don’t want strife in a historically liberal nation. We need to cooperate.”
The elderly man emphasized the importance of remaining unified in accordance with the country’s traditions while asserting that India cannot belong only to Hindus or Muslims.
“India cannot be solely a Hindu nation. Again, India cannot be made by Muslims alone. Everyone must collaborate,” Sen continued.
