Amartya sen.... Pride of India 🇮🇳

[@hassymiia6267]

Born in Bangladesh. Pride of Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Wait.. no nrc for him? 😂

[@winter_silhouette]

​@@hassymiia6267 he was born in 1933. There was no Bangladesh then. Technically, there was no Indian republic either. It was all part of British India.

[@SWAMIJIist]

​@@hassymiia6267 He was born in Shantiniketan, which was and is in India.

[@siddikasultana7295]

​@@winter_silhouetteBangladesh was literally independent in 1972😂😂😂 what are you on abiut mate? He was born in shanti niketon,Bangladesh.

[@winter_silhouette]

@@siddikasultana7295 incorrect on both accounts. 1. He was born in 1933 in Shantiniketan which was in the Bengal province of British India. In 1947, Bengal was again divided between India and Pakistan and Shantiniketan became a part of West Bengal, India. 2. Bangladesh declared its independence in 1971 not 1972. The point is, as a bangali you can be proud of him irrespective of where he was born but that doesn't mean you can change facts.

[@debopriyoroy]

I think when Sundar Macchan visited IIT KgP, Amartya Sen should have guided state govt to give a proper welcoming him to the state instead of disregarding him. Nor has he helped TCG group to inspire further exploration of investment opportu ities to alter the deplorable condition of the state, where all young people are feeling. I wonder what he does and how does it help, rather Mohd. Yunus has ignited the small banking sector worldwide

[@SWAMIJIist]

Mohd Yunus started a big scam, that micro financing group schemes of his ran into trouble later.

A great cheater of West Bengal. It’s fact that Jali Jomi Chore was not awared Noble Prize The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, officially the Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.AmartyaSen wife is a Billionaire Banker. She influenced the Banker to honour the Bengali Cheat with Riksbank Prize.

[@SWAMIJIist]

The Nobel committee recognises the Economics as one of the Noble prizes, enough said. Emma Rothschild is an Economic historian, not a banker. Just belonging to the Rothschild family is not cause enough.
