In line with Prime Minister Modi's vision, India is re-emerging as a global knowledge hub, exemplified by the relaunch of Nalanda University and international IIT campuses, among other things
It was a fortuitous coincidence that just around the time that the Nalanda University was re-inaugurated, symbolising the achievement of a historic milestone in India's quest for re-emerging as a significant knowledge society, Prof Amartya Sen was present in India. The professed aim of his trip was to rejoice on the reduced seats for the BJP and the postponement as he termed it - of the 'Hindu Rashtra' project. One need not take cognisance of such puerile statements emanating from an increasingly senile mind. What is of significance is that Prof Sen was present in India when, within days of taking office for a historic third time as Prime Minister, Narendra Modi inaugurated the new campus of Nalanda University in the presence of an eminent array of academic leaders and diplomats. Heads of Mission from 17 countries were present, expressing a keen and anticipated interest in the taking off and success of the project.
