Daridra Niye Conference O Anyanya Prabandha is a profound collection of essays by renowned economist Pranab Bardhan, offering a deep dive into crucial societal issues, particularly focusing on poverty and its multifaceted relationship with economics, culture, and politics.

• Broad Thematic Spectrum: The book spans an extensive range of topics, from poverty eradication, land rights, and corruption to globalization, democracy, nationalism, and the future of leftist ideology. It reflects the author's nuanced understanding of the dynamics of socio-economic issues in India.

• A Thought-Provoking Collection: The essays, selected from over three decades of Bardhan’s writings, are insightful and often challenge mainstream narratives, providing fresh perspectives on crucial issues such as the role of the middle class, the impact of neoliberalism, and the complexities of development economics.

• Engaging Interviews and Dialogues: This book includes thought-provoking dialogues, notably an extensive interview with the Nobel laureate Amartya Sen and an in-depth discussion with the former left-wing minister Nirupam Sen about the future of leftist ideology, adding a personal and intellectual touch to the academic discourse.

• Critical Analysis of Social and Economic Issues: Bardhan’s deep engagement with the rural and marginalized sections of society, through grassroots surveys, adds credibility to his critique of economic policies and their real-world impact on the poor. His examination of social and cultural issues provides an empathetic understanding of India’s diverse realities.

• Accessible and Engaging: Though intellectually rigorous, the essays maintain a readability that appeals to a wide audience, making complex socio-economic topics approachable for the general reader while providing valuable insights for scholars and policymakers.
