In his book Identity and violence , noble laureate Dr. Amartya Sen has
suggested many identities of a human being as an answer to the singular
identity advocated by another Harvard professor Samuel Huntington. Professor
Huntington predicted a major inter civilizational war in his influential book
The clash of civilizations and the remaking of the world order. Huntington
based his argument on a singular categorization of human beings along his
so-called civilizational lines which closely follow religious divisions.
As I completed reading these two books, I happened to find another book
Nirvana authored by respected Mr. Himendra Thakur. In a unique narrative
interspersed with the theory of particle physics and wisdom of the Indian
ancient scripter Upanishad, Mr. Thakur invoked the concept of no identity in
his drama Nirvana.
