India facing ‘collapse of nation crisis’: Amartya Sen

诺贝尔奖得主阿玛蒂亚·森：印度面临“国家崩溃危机”

KOLKATA: The biggest crisis facing India at this juncture is “collapse of the nation”, Nobel laureate Amartya Sen said on Thursday at the inauguration of the Amartya Sen Research Centre in Kolkata’s Salt Lake area.

加尔各答：周四，诺贝尔奖得主阿玛蒂亚·森在加尔各答盐湖地区阿玛蒂亚·森研究中心的落成典礼上表示，印度目前面临的最大危机是“国家崩溃”。

What scared him most, Sen said, were the divisions he saw in the country right now. It was also “extraordinary” that colonial laws were being used to put people behind bars, he added without specifically mentioning the recent arrest of activist Teesta Setalvad by Gujarat police.

阿玛蒂亚说，最让他害怕的是他现在在这个国家看到的分歧。他补充说，利用殖民地法律把人关进监狱也是“非同寻常”的，但他没有特别提到最近古吉拉特邦警方逮捕活动人士Teesta Setalvad一事。

Mere tolerance would not be enough to counter all this, he said. “India has an inherent culture of being tolerant but the need of the hour is that Hindus and Muslims should work together,” the celebrated economist said

他说，仅仅是宽容不足以应对这一切。这位著名经济学家表示：“印度有一种宽容的固有文化，当务之急是印度教徒和穆 斯林应该携手合作。”

India was not a country representing only Hindu culture, Sen said, adding that Muslim culture was also part of the country’s vibrant history. “I don’t think Hindus as a group may be able to take credit for the Taj Mahal. Dara Shikoh, Shah Jahan’s eldest son, translated 50 Upanishads from the original Sanskrit to Persian and this enabled the world to know about Hindu scriptures, Hindu culture and Hindu traditions. The ragas and music by Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan are also evidence of people of different religions collaborating to create magic. Such collaborative work is necessary in today’s India where (only) speaking of tolerance will not address the dangers of fragmentation,” Sen explained.

阿玛蒂亚说，印度不只是一个代表印度教文化的国家，伊 斯兰文化也是这个国家充满活力的历史的一部分。

“我不认为印度教徒作为一个群体能够将泰姬陵归功于自己。沙贾汗的长子达拉·希科将50本《奥义书》从梵文翻译成波斯文，这使世界了解了印度教经文、印度教文化和印度教传统。拉维·尚卡尔和阿里·阿克巴·汗的拉格舞曲和音乐也是不同宗教的人们合作创造的证据。这种合作在今天的印度是必要的，在印度，(仅仅)谈论宽容并不能消除分裂的危险。”

He talks about the tolerance of Hindus (which has been the bane of this nation), which Gandhi(ji) told Hindus to practice, even if they were killed ! Such was a shameful cunning leader, who this Sen says Indians should emulate

他谈到了印度教徒的宽容(这一直是这个国家的祸害)，

甘地告诉印度教徒要这样做，即使他们被杀
