Research Interest
My primary research area lies within Modern Indian History, Labour History, Urban Studies and Socio-political movements, with expertise in the history of Bombay’s mill workers. In my PhD, I looked at the popular politics of Bombay’s erstwhile mill district, popularly known as Girangaon, in the first half of the twentieth century.
My current research project, developed during my postdoc, explores the plurality of historical experiences, including class-based mobilisation and a united anti-British popular upsurge in post-war Bombay, to underline the existence of alternate possibilities of popular mobilisation besides communal polarisation at this historical conjuncture.
