"I want the country to be united. I don't want division in a country that was historically liberal. We have to work together," Amartya Sen said,
Expressing concern over the current state of affairs in India, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen, who was in the city on Thursday, said people should work towards maintaining unity.
He also said that divisions should not be made on religious lines.
"I think if someone asks me if I'm scared of something, I would say 'yes'. There is a reason to be afraid now. The current situation in the country has become a cause for fear," the celebrated economist said at the inauguration of Amartya Research Centre in Salt Lake area.
"I want the country to be united. I don't want division in a country that was historically liberal. We have to work together," he said.
