Re: [GRN] Meera Nanda: Postcolonial Theory and the making of "Hindu Nationalism"

[Rowena Kay Mascarenhas]

Amita, thank you. Yes, two different people. FN - a mix up there, probably inadvertent. The two Meeras are different people, as Amita says. Meera Kosambi (d.2015) was Pune-based, lived in the house that her father DD Kosambi built (I'm told it is a Goa-style house), and her well known work is on Pandita Ramabai (published when I was at the OUP).  Meera Nanda writes on postcolonial Hinduism but I didn't have the privilege of our paths crossing, though she is a well known academic in Delhi circles.  Sounds like a good session, will try to catch it on the weekend! Thanks for sharing.  Best Rowena Sent from my iPhone On Aug 16, 2025, at 5:11 AM, Amita Kanekar <amitakane...@gmail.com> wrote:  Dear Frederick, Meera Nanda and Meera Kosambi are/were two different people.
