The Argumentative Indian ends with this Tagore poem, narrated by Victor Banerjee. Given the controversy that has happened about The Argumentative Indian, it so aptly describes what needs to be avoided. Given the scenario, I feel Amartya Sen is a voice of opposition, not in a political sense, but a voice of opposition that keeps this dialogue alive in a democracy. Ironically, the name of the film is The Argumentative Indian, and this argument is being stalled. Such things happen and we have to take them in our stride and try to keep raising our voice.
