20/3/2019 0 Comments New articleMy latest article is now available, titled: 'Spiritual bypass and entanglement in Yogaland: How Neoliberalism, Soft Hindutva and Banal Nationalism Facilitate Yoga Fundamentalism.'

I'm currently writing a book chapter related to my work on spoken Sanskrit. To complete this I have been making several maps built directly off of the raw data collected during the 2011 Indian Census.

The markers in warmer colours represent the locations where higher numbers of 'speakers' live.

It talks about the politics of global yoga and, in particular, it focuses on several issues related to spoken Sanskrit. It also includes an update on some of the 2011 census data related to languages in India; which was only released in late 2018. |
