New Delhi: Amartya Sen’s daughter Nandana Deb Sen on Wednesday denied news reports of her father’s death. Earlier, a fake account of American historian Claudia Goldin announced that Sen had died at the age of 89. In her tweet, she wrote on X, “A terrible news. My dearest Professor Amartya Sen has died minutes ago. No words.” Born in Shantiniketan, West Bengal on November 3, 1933 Amartya Sen’s contribution to economics won him Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1998.
“Friends, thanks for your concern but it’s fake news: Baba is totally fine,” Nandana Sen said while sharing a picture with the renowned economist. “We just spent a wonderful week together w/ family in Cambridge—his hug as strong as always last night when we said bye! He is teaching 2 courses a week at Harvard, working on his gender book—busy as ever!”
