My Personal battle for India’s Soul

India’s culture, politics and it pluralistic ethos are being transformed by an intolerant and hateful ideology. As an American of Indian origin, I am appalled that India’s secular democracy is being eroded by Hindu nationalism making the material and spiritual lives of religious minorities extremely vulnerable.  On this page I plan to wage a personal struggle to preserve the India that I cherish. Here you will find my recent articles and video commentaries and lectures on India. I hope you find these sources informative and thought provoking. Please share with your friends and your networks. Fellow academics, do use them in your classes.
