    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;In sixteen linked essays, Nobel Prize--winning economist Amartya Sen discusses India's intellectual and political heritage and how its argumentative tradition is vital for the success of its democracy and secular politics. <em>The Argumentative Indian </em>is &quot;a bracing sweep through aspects of Indian history and culture, and a tempered analysis of the highly charged disputes surrounding these subjects--the nature of Hindu traditions, Indian identity, the country's huge social and economic disparities, and its current place in the world&quot; (Sunil Khilnani, <em>Financial Times,</em> U.K.).&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>
