The Argumentative Indian: Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity by Amartya Sen is a collection of essays that explores the intellectual and cultural traditions of India through the lens of pluralism, reason, and democratic discourse. Drawing on sources ranging from ancient Sanskrit texts to contemporary political debates, Sen argues that India’s long-standing tradition of public reasoning and heterodoxy has been central to its historical development and remains vital to its modern identity.
