Conversations in the Library: Amartya Sen & Salman Rushdie


LISTEN | Download the mp3


Amartya Sen and Salman Rushdie discuss transcultural migration, Indian verbosity, the recent or not-so-recent invention of Indian identity, freedom's economic components, class similarities in the victims of Hindu/Muslim violence, the unholy alliance between Islamic extremism and Western parochialism, and the clash-of-civilizations thesis at Conversations in the Library, part of the 2006 PEN World Voices Festival.
