Amartya Sen | Kolkata after Independence: A Personal Memoir Part-1 | Lecture at Jadavpur University 

A salute to you, Sir. Being an alum of this university, I feel grateful to see such an intellectual gathering in Gandhi Bhavan. Definitely as Prof. Das mentioned, such intellectual sessions will be a priority in future too. Seeing you reminisce your days in Presidency reminds me of the twilight moments spent with my friends. Such academic integrity must be received with more enthusiasm.

A global intellectual .

Two great legend of Bengal

Independence of India was a curse for both Calcutta and West Bengal.

I attended this lecture in 2019. The crowd behaviour at the beginning of this event came dangerously close to being a stampede. A hazardous amount of people were allowed entry in the balcony of the auditorium. People were on the verge of getting crushed by the crowd while being upright. After a point I couldn't even walk back and leave the auditorium; there was simply no space to go back. The crowd surge in Seoul last month reminded me of the poor collective behaviour demonstrated by the people trying to attend a lecture by a public intellectual at a place of learning. The irony.
