>From the blurb:
This book provides an in-depth ethnographic study of science and religion
in the context of South Asia, giving voice to Indian scientists and
shedding valuable light on their engagement with religion. Drawing on
biographical, autobiographical, historical, and ethnographic material, the
volume focuses on scientists’ religious life and practices, and the variety
of ways in which they express them. Renny Thomas challenges the idea that
science and religion in India are naturally connected and argues that the
discussion has to go beyond binary models of ‘conflict’ and
‘complementarity’. By complicating the understanding of science and
religion in India, the book engages with new ways of looking at these
categories.
