This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Dr Audrey Truschke [Bluesky, X/Twitter]. Audrey is a Professor of South Asian history at Rutgers University whose work has brought her to the attention of Hindu nationalists. We spoke to her about her work on South Asian history, encounters with Hindutva and the importance of defending academic freedom.
