A review by riahforbes
The Country of First Boys by Amartya Sen

4.0

"Argumentative Indian" is still one of my favourite books of Indian essays, so it was fun to revisit a couple of those along with Sen's newer pieces. I don't get as much out of his more philosophical essays (e.g. the one on justice) as I do from his cultural and historic ones. I absolutely loved the essay on Nalanda University, especially since I knew embarrassingly little about it, as well as the one on Rabindranath Tagore.
