![A beautiful mind](https://magarticles.magzter.com/articles/3180/723127/611df3ce2d91f/A-beautiful-mind.jpg)
From Aristotle to Wittgenstein to Gautama Buddha. He is forever curious, interested, amazed and intrigued by the phenomena that he observes or reads about. Moving from ancient texts to contemporary ones and engaging with some of what captivates him. He then pursues an explanation and an exposition of these for the rest of his life.
Injustice between men and women in all the dimensions of life, especially amongst the less privileged, bothers him. Addressing the woman issue—or the gender issue, as it is called now—has been a recurring theme in Amartya’s work over the decades. While he does not spend much time on this issue in Home in the World, he provided many concepts and ideas which many of us took forward in our work. We tried to redress the inequality between men and women—a pervasive phenomenon worldwide. In one of the first essays he wrote on women—Indian Women: Wellbeing and Survival—in The Economic Journal, to my great joy, he added a footnote acknowledging Pranab Bardhan and me for pointing out this issue.
ADDRESSING THE GENDER ISSUE HAS BEEN A RECURRING THEME IN AMARTYA’S WORK.
