Lok Sabha poll results show India not Hindu Rashtra: Amartya Sen
Deccan ChronicleNobel laureate Amartya Sen has asserted the recent Lok Sabha poll results point to the fact that India is not a ;Hindu Rashtra'.He also expressed displeasure that keeping people behind bars "without trial" has continued in the country since the British rule and it is more in practice under the BJP government in comparison to the Congress regime. "That India is not a Hindu Rashtra only has been reflected in the election results," Sen told a Bengali news channel at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport here.The 90-year-old economist arrived in Kolkata from the US on Wednesday evening. "I do not think the idea of turning India into a Hindu Rashtra is appropriate," Sen said.He was also of the opinion that the new Union cabinet is 'a copy of the earlier one'. But, this is more in practice under the present government," the Nobel laureate said.On the BJP losing the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat despite building the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, Sen said attempts were made to overshadow the country's true identity.".
