Book Launch of Prof. Tapan Raychaudhuri by Prof. Amartya Sen on 28 May 2012
 Prof. Tapan Raychudhuri's latest book "The World in Our Time" will be launched at the Nehru Centre on Monday 28 May 2012 by Prof. Amartya Sen.
Prof Raychaudhuri’s memoir (Harper Collins) gives a wonderful account of the class of landlords of Bengal to which his family belonged. It narrates the traumatic events of India in the last decade of Raj and the building of a democracy as witnessed by the author. It also analyses life in Oxford today and fifty years ago, where Prof Raychaudhuri spent the longest spell of a distinguished academic career.
The book, in the words of Prof Amartya Sen, ‘demonstrates that seriously enlightening history can also be great fun to read.’
Prof Raychaudhuri is currently Emeritus Fellow at St Antony’s College, Oxford. The recipient of Padma Bhushan, he was made the National Research Professor by the Indian government in 2011. |
