An Uncertain Glory: India and Its Contradictions by Jean Dreze, Jean Drèze, Amartya Sen

challenging informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

Reading Amartya Sen is such a privilege and pleasure. He breaks the chapter into small fractions, keeping the language easy but weighty to create the precise sense. Authored by two powerful writers the book  focuses on India and It's problems. The problems are fractioned into small parts and talks almost exhaustively about the subjects covered. I loved the book but mostly I loved the last two chapters about 'The Grip of Inequality' and 'Democracy, Inequality and Public Reasoning'. These chapters retained the focus on the truths about discrimination and political disparity that needed highlighting which it got.
