International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad, India
I joined the Human Sciences Research Centre at IIIT Hyderabad as a faculty member in history in December 2022. I graduated with a PhD from the School of Culture and Society, Aarhus University, Denmark in October 2017 after completing my MA and BA degrees from Jawaharlal Nehru University and the University of Delhi respectively. Prior to joining IIIT, I have worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Swedish South Asian Studies Network (SASNET) at Lund University, Sweden and the Department of Global Studies, Aarhus University. The temporal and regional focus of my research is modern and contemporary South Asia, and my work is guided by an overarching interest in Partition and Bangladesh studies, memory studies, diaspora studies, histories of migration, nationalism and communalism and urban history. The proposed paper is part of a larger research project - Constructing the Oceans: Indian Ocean Infrastructures and Thick Transregionalism of the Dawoodi Bohras (CO-OC) funded by the Danish Research Council under which I was formerly a postdoctoral fellow and am now affiliated as a co-investigator.
