Meera Nanda calls for Buddhist revival

Meera Nanda, snarky atheist who blames everything that ails India -nationalism, illiteracy, obsurantism, Delhi belly- on Hinduism, is out with a new book that takes on religious fundamentalism in the United States and back in the desh. 

While I have not have the pleasure of reading it yet, she has apparently reworked Theraveda Buddhism into a "religion of reason" that will propel India’s superstitious hordes into an era of enlightenment. Good luck with that, Meera.
