Biography:
I am interested in popular Rajput histories in colonial and post-colonial India. I look at how Rajput/kshatriya identity aligned itself with religious nationalism in post-colonial India.
I intend to research how such popular histories particularly in Hindi contributed to the modern discourse on Hindu nationalism. My languages of research are Hindi, Rajasthani and Sanskrit.
