Random notes

‘I won't consider silly and insignificant arguments as serious and significant simply because they are presented in the English language.’These words uttered during a heated discussion held in Govt.Brennen College,Thalassery before 37 years echoed in my ears when I reached the last pages of the book 'The Elephant Paradigm' by Gurucharan Das.(Penguin Books India 2002).And then I was really shocked to see the following compliment of Amartya Sen on the back cover : It is a wonderful book.-a great mixture of memoir,economic analysis,social investigation,political scrutiny and managerial outlook thrown into the understanding of India.
