Who cares! Many crores of them do, including so called Minorities in Gujarat who have prospered.

His economic theory is being rebutted and looks like now he is turning to politics.

Actions speak louder than words, for all his inaction in 2002, Modi has more than made up by his positive actions in the last 10 years. Modi and NDA is a valid claimant, compared to economic ineptitude, massive corruption, poorly planned and ill-funded social schemes, degradation of national institutions like (RBI/CBI/IB/EC) and communal /divisive politics played by UPA/Congress to mislead the people away from its incompetence on all other fronts. With the IM comment, now they are turning into full throated apologists for Political Islam.

I am surprised that Dr. Sen, after having spent a considerable part of his life outside India and even won a Nobel prize in economics, looks at things in terms of divisive minority / majority politics and wants important decision by Govt. on its basis.

what is narendra modi's economic theory?

"Yes, I don't want him," Sen told CNN-IBN in reply to a question on whether he wanted him [narendra modi] as his Prime Minister." -- a news item.

really? sen should have said "no, i don't want him."

Phlegmy, have you answered any of the charges leveled against you on the other thread where you try to muscle ha? Have you retreated with raggedy tail tucked firmly between your bony ass?

Sen said physical infrastructure in Gujarat may be good but ... the Gujarat model needs to do much more on the health and education sectors and bring equity. -- amartya sen

sen likes to screw bhagwati sideways. bhagwati, otoh, prefers frontways. bhagwati does not hesitate calling sen short of a kombolete idiot.

This guy - a commie sympathiser and once a commiee party member - would not apply for US citizenship bcz he would be stripped of his GC. Portrays himself to be a Desh Bakht while supporting the dynasty which is now full of phoreners and non-hindus.

Hope Modi really wins it next time.

Saamiyaar, you need to think through what you are saying. Sen chose not to apply for US citizenship because he valued his Indian passport, and wanted to keep it. That is a rare choice among Indians living abroad, one that brings with it many practical inconveniences, one that most of us who talk about India here have not made. So he certainly has a greater claim to being a "desh bhakt" than you.

what is wrong in it? do you still insist on wearing bata chappals for yourself? scratch that. khadau for footwear? what do you wear? anyway, what is wrong in asking foreigners for donation for an educational university -- esp. from the chinese and japanese (i am taking what you claim to be true) who have an interest in nalanda, bihar? what exactly is your issue?

BTW, the question "were you a member of a Communist party" was also present on Form I-485 that I filled out a little over a year ago. The law applies to both green card applications and naturalization applications. If Sen was able to get a green card, he would likely have been able to get citizenship as well, if he chose to apply.

It's the issue of self-respect. He should have taken the shovel in his hand and asked the local Bihari laborers to help him build the University instead of asking the foreigners for money to do the job.

Had they seen a shovel in Sen's hand, most of them would be willing to help him in return for the bare minimum. Moreover, the rebuilding of Nalanda Univeristy should be the responsibility and a matter of pride for Indians, without having the future chancellor of that university running abroad seeking and collecting money for the job in the form of donations from foreigners. Frankly, even if some foreigner wanted to donate money on his own for the reconstruction of Nalanda Univ., Sen should have humbly declined it by saying "Thanks, but no thanks. We will take care of it ourselves."

how do you know for sure that I am not a Desh Bhakt.

He does not need to since he married amerikaan wives since 1972... and since he got his Nobel, then there is no need to. One should be an ordinary guy and THEN maintain his Indian passport that I will give credit.

He comes from a distinguished family and he is a world citizen and no need for any passport. If a commoner holds an Indian passport and makes anti-political; anti-congress statement, the cops will tear up his GC and throw him in jail. But, they would do that to a Nobel winner with all the titles from a well known/connected family.

So no biggie.
