Revisiting Amartya Sen’s, “The Argumentative Indian” in an Era of Dialectical Contradiction

A reflection on the Nobel-winning economist’s collection of essays and the everlasting questions they leave us — India’s Argumentative Tradition: Along the Path of Reason? The first volume, Voice and Heterodoxy, begins with an explanation of the title — “the Argumentative Indian” being a symbolic figure of India’s longstanding tradition of discourse and debate. Sen pridefully exclaims that India’s argumentative history long precedes her status as a postcolonial democracy.

A non-definitive playlist of songs speaking truth to power — Although Donald Trump has left office, it is imperative that we the people unite to fight the legacy of Trumpism that lives on — an amalgam of Nazi-like fascism, white supremacy, violent extremism, and all of the worst ‘isms’ imaginable.
