"Towards an Understanding of Gandhi's Views on Science", EPW, September 29, pp 3721-32.

    "Gandhi it is argued in this paper, was not anti-science as is commonly misunderstood. Through a look at his various experiments it is shown that Gandhi's life defined space for an alternative science for civil society that would operate with different methods.... He also had a universal message by providing a new cosmology of man-nature and fact-value relations that he articulated and put in place through his various experiments. With this outline of a theoretical framework for Gandhian science, the case of the Khadi movement is taken up for detailed explication."

"Suicide Deaths and Quality of Indian Cotton: Perspectives from History of Technology and Khadi Movement", EPW, January 30, 1999, pp PE-12 - PE-21.

    "The suicide deaths of farmers is a failure of agricultural science and the historical nature of the crisis
needs to be appreciated. This paper seeks to retrace the route by which the present connections between Indian cotton and the mechanised textile industry were first established, a direction that has led to the present crisis on the fields of the cotton farmers. It also explores the alternatives in the Khadi movement which with the aim of reintroducing spinning to the masses had to look at varieties of cotton suited for home-based production and evolve tools for use in the movement."
