Taking her twitter handle, Amartya’s  daughter Nandana thanked the family’s well wishers and confirmed that her father is alive and is doing well. “Friends, thanks for your concern but it’s fake news: Baba is totally fine. 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!” This is exactly what she wrote on her twitter handle.

At present Amartya holds a prestigious position as professor of Thomas W. Lamont University. At the same time he is engaged as professor of economics and philosophy at Harvard University. Before that he held the post of master at Trinity College, University of Cambridge.
