About Pranab Bardhan’s memoir “Charaiveti: An Academic’s Global Journey”
The word ‘charaiveti’, from an ancient Sanskrit hymn, means ‘keep moving’, in search of self-realization. The leading Indian economist and public intellectual Pranab Bardhan invokes this in a moving narrative of his personal and professional journey. He provides a fascinating account of his richly varied and widely traveled life, interwoven with thoughtful comments on politics and society both in India and abroad, and on some major strands of international intellectual debates. These accounts are enlivened by a profusion of stories, anecdotes, and amusing incidents, and draw copiously from his interests in literature and films.
