Meera Nanda Delhi

Back in Delhi i had the great pleasure of meeting Meera Nanda, whose work I have admired since i came across it in the early days of research for Neem Dreams. We’ve been in email contact for some time and i was glad to find our time in Delhi would co-incide. We had lunch and wandered round the bookshops and cyber cafes of Connaught Place … We exchanged our latest books. She is a vehement and articulate defender of science and critic of the Hindu Right, and a great champion of secularisation… I know i will be referencing her work in the future…
Check out her book Prophets Facing Backwards (among others) and here is a 2004 piece of hers in The Hindu:  www.hindu.com
