Accidentally stumbled upon this book & what a pleasure it was to go through it. The author has questioned the relevance/non-relevance of caste-language-gender-class barriers in defining 'identity'. It simplifies concepts and at the same time opens up new ways of looking up things, which of course, are very positive and very very sensible. One of my best reads till date. :)

The liberal philosopher in Sen at his best. Demolishes the primordial claims about identity, and suggests way to reduce violence in the global community.

The book deals with the very complex subject with a very simple approach and language. If you are scared by Sen's language and complexity in some of his other books like me, you need not worry about this one. Go for it. This is in fact lot easier to read than Argumentative Indian.

The book suggests the reader to understand the plurality of identity of people and asks for a humanitarian outlook when this issue is looked at.

This is one of the best writtings on "Individual Identity"
This books Explain , Question and Arguement the Existence of an Individual in different roles. Perfect blend of Historical events with Philosophy make it more thought provoking. It is one of the very rare books that gives you an insight of a Human Behaviour.

Very expansive in enunciation
