Nobel laureate's hour-long lecture spanned several subjects like tolerance, the cultivation of hate and the role of the judiciary

Calcutta: A sound schooling system is important for children to understand the pluralistic idea of India, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen told a Calcutta audience on Thursday.

“Among things that can be learnt at school is to reflect on what India is like as a nation… why it was ready to give room to Jews and Christians and early Muslims and Parsis,” the economist said.

“Why is it that Indian literature, Indian architecture, Indian painting, Indian music, Indian dancing have so many collaborative features from different groups in India?”

“And what is happening to it right now? These are all threatened by the decline in schooling, whether brought about by Covid or fear of Covid or by anything else,” Sen added.

He was speaking at the Amartya Sen Research Centre, which opened its doors to the public on Thursday. The centre has been envisaged as the flagship institute of the Pratichi Trust, set up with Sen’s Nobel Prize award in 1999.

Sen was part of a panel that discussed the lessons learnt — with regard to schoolchildren — during the pandemic, and the attention areas during the resumption of offline classes.

His hour-long lecture spanned several subjects like tolerance, the cultivation of hate and the role of the judiciary.
