Short Biography
 
Veena Rani Howard's interest lies in 
Hindu thought and comparative

ideological debates that take place 
within the native discourse of Indian 
thought, as well as in the recent

Western interpretations. She analyzes 
the intersection of different discourses, 
such as that between classical Indian 
philosophical logic and Western 
philosophical and political dialectics 
that mediate emerging conversations in 
the field. She received her higher 
education in India as well in the USA 
and has master's degrees in English 
Literature, Indian Philosophy, and
