My research interests are situated at the intersections of Critical Terrorism Studies, Regional Politics, and Political Developments in Central Asia, Russia, and India, with a focused lens on Assam’s regional dynamics and party systems. My academic inquiry is grounded in empirical analysis and informed by a critical approach to state narratives, counter-terrorism discourse, and human rights frameworks.
