DR MEERA NANDA is a teacher, researcher and philosopher of science currently working in US. Her forthcoming book is titled 'Prophets Facing Backward: Postmodern Critiques of Science' and 'The Making of Hindu Nationalism in India'.

She was trained as a biologist and has worked with the people's science movement and as a science correspondent in India.


• The Wrongs of the Religious Right
Meera Nanda’s book is an impassioned plea for secularization of mentalities. She compares the polities of India and America to argue that, faced with the current right wing assault, secular constitutions alone cannot guarantee secularism.



• Breaking the Spell of Dharma and Other Essays
This book of three celebrated and controversial essays connects religious fundamentalism with fascism and examines the link between Hindutva and reactionary modernism.



• Postmodernism and Religious Fundamentalism
The secularization of science-the hard-won freedom of science from churches, brahmans and mullahs-is under threat. This work sees hope in the ideas of Ambedkar, the dalit movement and neo-Buddhism.



• Prophets Facing Backward
Prophets Facing Backward examines the intellectual sources of reactionary modernism. It shows a convergence between Vedic Sciences, Hindu modernity and postmodernist/postcolonial critiques of science by left-inclined intellectuals and new social movements



• The God Market - How Globalization is Making India more Hindu
In this eye-opening book, Meera Nanda looks at the rise of popular Hinduism and uncovers, for the first time, the nexus between the state, temple and corporate India, and the ugly truth behind India’s leap into globalization and economic reforms. She argues that India is creating its own, insidious form of fundamentalism, one that can lead the country into grave danger.
