While there is much truth to what is said in the rest of the above post, this
criticism of Amartya Sen is unfair. Sen has discussed at great lengths the
heterodoxy, rationalist tradition and tolerance among the Hindus, both
historically and in contemporary India. His rejection of Hindutva chauvinism
rests on sound reasoning and solid grounds.
