About Arighna Gupta
I am a PhD Candidate in History at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. My dissertation traces elements of popular sovereignty in post-Mughal and early-colonial India (1760 - 1840) through the intersections of popular rebellions, imperial jurisdictions, and Islamic idioms. Largely, the project engages with the fields of social history, political thought, Indian Ocean networks, space, and religion. Besides historical writings, my disciplinary interests revolve around political philosophy, anthropology, literature, and digital humanities.
