Meera Nanda: Postcolonial Theory and the making of "Hindu Nationalism"

[Frederick Noronha]

A important debate coming up here: The author of the book being discussed here is the Goan-by--origin Meera Nanda, the younger daughter of the historian and mathematician, D.D. Kosambi, and granddaughter of Dharmananda Damodar Kosambi, a Buddhist scholar and a Pāli language expert. Her mother was Nalini Kosambi (née Madgavkar). She received a Ph.D. in sociology from the Stockholm University.

Dear Rico,

Meera Nanda and Meera Kosambi are/were two different people. Kosambi is dead, while Nanda is alive and based in the US.
