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.
