Professor Amartya Sen spent three of his childhood years in Mandalay in the late thirties as it changed from a province of colonial India to a crown colony. You would think he would like to get his facts straight about his former home. Nobel Prize winners should get their facts straight.

The [him] moderator still has not heard from Professor Sen's in response to the moderator's queries about Professor Sen's error in attributing antiretroviral resistance to lack of control of the Myanmar HIV epidemic. The answer to the question posed in http://www.hivinfo4mm.org/blog/_archives/2007/1/30/2686857.html "How does one go about telling two people of this stature that they have made a mistake?" is that he can't tell Amartya Sen anything.
