The Wrongs of the Religious Right: Reflections on Science, Secularism and Hindutva

Meera Nanda

4.9/5 (14934 ratings)

Description:Meera Nanda’s book is an impassioned plea for secularization of mentalities. She compares the secular polities of India and America to argue that, faced with the current right wing assault, secular constitutions alone cannot guarantee secularism. She examines how India’s major ecological movements have been reframed by Brahminical Hinduism with some unintended but crucial help from those within these movements. Her work shows the interconnections between the Hindutva scientism and national chauvinism, a factor crucial for its middle class support and its ‘reactionary modernism’.CONTENTSSecularism without Secularization: Reflections on the Religious Right in America and IndiaHindu Ecology in the Age of Hindutva: The Dangers of Religious EnvironmentalismMaking Science Sacred: How Postmodernism Aids Vedic Science.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
