We cannot but agree with Amartya Sen, when he wrote that he resented being included, as a person coming from the rich, manifold cultural and spiritual tradition of India, in the general “Confucian” category to which Huntington ascribes Asia as a whole.

[Denigrating Indian Culture: Caricaturing Yayati at Seriously Sandeep
because Karnad decides that he is an Existential king, he alters Yayati’s character. Not content, he casts Puru in a similar mold: the eternal conflict-torn drama protagonist who in this play, vacillates between the desire to reclaim his youth and fulfilling his duty as a son... Karnad's hero is Puru, not Yayati. It however, exposes Karnad's shallowness.]
Amartya Sen's observation reminds of Puru's dialogue in Karnad's Yayati where he pleads of being a mere human person bereft of any heroic trait characteristic of the hoary royal lineage. [TNM]
