25 March 2013Sanal Edamaruku has been a force for reason all his life. As president of the Indian Rationalist Association he's continually challenged the gurus and godmen who have such a pervasive influence in society. But it's an uphill struggle: a wave of increasing fundamentalism and intolerance may be responsible for his current predicament: when he returns to India it's likely that he'll be arrested for “outraging religious feelings” after he debunked a Catholic “miracle” statue in Mumbai.
