By gum, she's right!  I'm pretty sure Dipesh Chakrabarty lives in this 
neighborhood.  I should go kick his ass, right now!

Meera Nanda has been noted for her critiques of postmodern
thought, which within the Indian context she sees as having
given intellectual credibility to Hindu fundamentalism.
Hence, while pomo was originally introducted into
India by leftist intellectuals, it was ultimately the
right-wing that benefited since pomo arguments
could be used, and were so used, to provide
an updated apologetics for Hindu fundamentalism.
