The evolving relationship between science and religion in India reveals a complex narrative intertwined with Hindu nationalism. Banu Subramaniam examines how this idealized past shapes modern technologies and aspirations for a "Hindu" nation amidst rising hypernationalism. Through five diverse cases, including debates on IPC Section 377, genomic origins of Indians, and the revival of traditional medicine, the author highlights the emergence of bionationalism. This exploration underscores the intricate interplay between cultural identity and scientific discourse in contemporary India.
