520 |a One must not dare speedread Renny Thomas’s Science and Religion in India that has already garnered accolades of acolytes from Cambridge to New York. Ironically, however, a painstaking but painful glossing of the text in between the otherwise handsomely produced front and back covers exposes singularly banal and shoddy statements and arguments about Indian scientists’ religiosity by observing, and also participating in, their various rituals within the confines of the workplace, the laboratories of "a leading scientific research Institute in Bangalore, Karnataka" (most certainly the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore) and ingratiating himself with the alpha scientist Srinivasan (not a real name) presiding over the largest lab of the scientists’ sanctum sanctorum. No wonder, our veritable pilgrim researcher is so beholden to his patron that he chooses to refer to him by a rather unacademic moniker "Boss" (4) (more apposite for a Hindi movie character with Bollywood bravado) somewhat resembling the syrupy and quasi comical guru or syar (sir) in Bengali or ‘Benglish’, (a neologism and a portmanteau term [Bengali + English] describing the Bengali way of pronouncing words in English).
