Product Description

Review
"Meera Nanda is a unique scholar. She combines valuable criticisms of postmodern science studies with a close reading of how these ideas influence actual political developments in India. An appealing and powerful read."

Product Description
Postcolonial societies have been urged to develop their own "alternative sciences" as a step towards "mental decolonization". This title reveals how these well-meaning, but ultimately misguided, ideas are enabling Hindu ideologues to propagate religious myths in the guide of science and secularism.
