A beautiful mind

In Home in the World, Amartya Sen, a dear friend and contemporary, has achieved the impossible. We are with him in Shantiniketan, savouring its unique ambience. Tagore is there, and encourages our brave Amartya to improve his competence in Sanskrit. At another time he is cycling from Shantiniketan to old farm sheds and warehouses in neighbouring villages, transporting a weighing machine to weigh boys and girls up to the age of five, to collect data related to the Bengal famine of 1943. We then follow Amartya at the age of 19, sailing to the UK, filled with wonderment at the endless ocean he sees around him.
