Letter sent to the Guardian and also Amartya.

Dear Editor

Amratyasens critical piece on India has many flows (26 0ctober).

He says anyone critical of the government is branded anti national, without giving any examples. There are anti national forces calling for India to be broken into pieces and they certainly do not hope to achieve that non violently. The fact of the matter is that the BJP has brought real progress to India and that is why it has won overwhelmingly twice.The people of India know this and they also know that when electricity comes to a village it does not discriminate against households. Given that Amratyasen does not write much about the racial conflicts in the US or about Black Lives matter he should go back to India and employ his expertise in leading non violent movements there.
