Assistant Professor of English | Doctoral researcher, University of Delhi

My research sits at the intersection of postcolonial studies, diaspora studies, and the study of trauma and memory. I am particularly interested in the literature of the Indian indenture, or Girmitiya, diaspora, and in how histories of migration, displacement, and indenture are remembered, represented, and passed down across generations.

My wider interests include cultural memory, Bhojpuri folk traditions, and the literary and cultural histories of communities shaped by migration.
