This is a revised version of Professor C T Kurien Memorial Lecture delivered on 2 July 2025, at ISEC under the joint auspices of ISEC, Bengaluru, and Vishwaneedam Centre of Asian Blossoming, Chennai. While revising, the author has drastically summarised Kurien’s contribution to economics, but has given references to his main books for the benefit of those interested. The author is grateful to Ananta Giri for inviting him in the first instance to deliver the lecture, to Parmod Kumar and colleagues for holding it at ISEC, and Ashok Dalwai for chairing. The author is thankful to all those who attended the lecture both online and offline and raised questions. He is grateful to an anonymous reviewer of EPW who inspired him to develop the article further from the lecture through valuable comments and by drawing his attention to two books.- Reproduced
