Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen Is Not Dead, Clarifies Daughter Nandana Deb Sen
New Delhi: Reports of well-known economist and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen’s death made the rounds on social media on Tuesday, prompting a clarification from several quarters.
Nandana Deb Sen has since denied news of her father’s death. News of his death was shared by several leading publications based on a social media post – purportedly from economic historian Claudia Goldin. However, the post appears to have been shared by a fake account made in May 2023 and seemingly unrelated to Goldin.
