Media discourse, alternative medicine and Covid-19 in India: A case of an Ayurvedic drug ‘Coronil
Religious Minorities in the 2019 Hong Kong Protests
Based on a broader ethnographic study with Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh residents of Hong Kong, this article examines the role of minority religions, specifically Islam, in the 2019 Hong Kong protests. While the protests were dominated by the debates over the identities of Hong Kongers versus mainland Chinese, they also produced discussions over the positions and experiences of Hong Kong's "ethnic minorities," many of whom are religious minorities. Of…
Gender in sustainability research: Inclusion, intersectionality, and patterns of knowledge production
This cross‐disciplinary study examines gender inclusion and intersectionality in the knowledge production of sustainability research. Building on studies of gender inclusion as essential for quality research, we develop a three‐step framework that analyzes the socio‐demographic profile of researchers ( sustainability by whom? ), key research trajectories ( sustainability of what? ), and beneficiaries of sustainability research ( sustainability fo…
Medical Pluralism
Medical pluralism describes the availability of different medical approaches, treatments, and institutions that people can use while pursuing health: for example, combining biomedicine with so-called traditional medicine or alternative medicine. If we look closely at how people deal with illness, navigating between home remedies, evidence-based medicines, religious healing, and other alternatives, we can notice that some degree of medical plurali…
A local genie in an imported bottle: Ayurvedic commodities and healthy eating in North India
Many health-conscious Indians consume products sold under the label of Ayurveda – a South Asian tradition which promotes health and longevity through medicine, proper lifestyle, and diet. Recently, in addition to the herbal pharmaceutical market, Ayurveda has transformed into a growing industry of food products that include everything from honey, spices to biscuits, ketchup, and instant noodles – products that are neither particularly “Ayurvedic”…
Doctors of Plural Medicine, Knowledge Transmission, and Family Space in India
The transmission of traditional medical knowledge - either institutionally or through established lineages - is assumed to involve one single tradition or another. In India however, families of doctors often engage with multiple traditions, including Ayurveda, Unani, homeopathy, yoga, and biomedicine. Parents, children, siblings and spouses trained in different medical systems occasionally share knowledge and clinical space, producing versatile t…
Medicine and the Cultural Politics of National Belongings in Contemporary India
The Government of India claims to promote plural medical traditions, currently institutionalized under the acronym AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy). Yet, one medical system—Ayurveda—receives most social and ideological support: Ayurveda is routinely constructed as the only truly Indian, homegrown, and national medicine, while the national belonging of other AYUSH traditions is challenged. This essay explores d…
The Ayurveda of Baba Ramdev: Biomoral Consumerism, National Duty and the Biopolitics of ‘Homegrown’ Medicine in India
This paper examines a cultural politics of nationalism and alternative medicine in India. It investigates the rhetoric of a popular guru, Ramdev, who criticises ‘the West’ and promotes ‘homegrown’ yoga and Ayurveda for strengthening individual bodies and the body of the nation. I argue that the expansion of the Ayurvedic market in India and Ramdev's personal success are both based on discourses that interweave a neo-liberal quest for health with …
