description
The essays in this book connect religious fundamentalism with fascism and talk about the responsibility of intellectuals, argue for linking rationalism and science for the cause of social justice and provide a detailed critique of anti-rationalist and anti-secularist currents dominant in several academic and research circles in India. This little book is a timely reminder to all those who believe in the necessity of intellectual and moral intervention in the present affairs of society and culture.
