| Abstract | The promotion of an anti-Enlightenment and anti-modernist view of the world by the seemingly left-wing, postmodernist scholars with indigenist sympathies has ended up affirming the common sense of rightwing fundamentlalist movements. Hindutva, Meera Nanda demonstrates, speaks the same language as academic postmodernism popularized in India by the neo-Gandhian and postcolonial critics of modernity. The secularization of science the hard-won freedom of science from churches, brahmans and mullahs is under threat. |
