I am a writer and a comparative political historian (PhD, New York University) studying the relations between religion, capitalism, and political order in colonial and contemporary India and the British Empire. My research draws on comparative politics, political economy, and intellectual history. I pursue these themes through both scholarly and literary writing. My work has appeared in literary and academic journals such as Granta, The Sociological Review, Boston Review, Social Science History, and the British Journal of Political Science, and has received several prizes, including the Brian Barry Prize (awarded by the British Academy and Cambridge University Press), Boston Review Aura Estrada Prize, and the Commonwealth Short Story Prize.
