[Assam] From Bindu to Nirvana

[Ankur Bora]

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’.

  I am on process of compiling the writings/story/articles scattered in different Assamese e-mails groups. Your suggestion will be valuable in this effort.
