Internal Supervisors
Having studied Hindi and Urdu at the University of Cambridge, and completed a masters in Comparative Literature at SOAS, David's research is focussed on Hindi and Urdu literary products, journalism and other ephemera produced in north India between 1900-1950.  He is investigating spaces of commonality in an effort to challenge the dominant and received paradigm of Hindi/Hindu, Urdu/Muslim, which is too often seen to have been hegemonic in the early 20th century.
