It is entirely apposite that the title of Amartya Senâs memoir
Home in the World echoes the title of one of Rabindranath Tagoreâs more famous novels,

His earliest memories go back to his journey to what was then called Burma and his days there. He visited Santiniketan when he was a child but began to go to school there when he was about eight years old.
