My undergraduate studies was in English literature from St Stephen's College, New Delhi. Currently I am doing an MSc in Modern South Asian Studies at the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. My interests are primarily in the realm of literature, including postcolonial studies, literature in translation, and poetry. I am also interested in intellectual history and currently I'm working on a thesis to trace the trajectory of legal/statist and popular understandings of citizenship in India, especially with respect to Muslims.
