Interests / Disciplines
I am an active historian from India. I have specialised in modern Indian history from undergraduate to Masters level, in the process developing a strong interest in the history of subaltern and marginalised groups whose history is largely neglected in mainstream history. I did Ph. D from University of Warwick, U.K. I taught history at Osmania University for twelve years. My book, Subjugated Nomads, is coming out soon through Orient BlackSwan.
Teaching
Research
My research interests are community histories, the effects of power/knowledge, governmentality and dominance on subaltern communities, particularly adivasis; the state and nationalism, and identity movements by forest and hill peoples in the nineteenth and twentieth century. Apart from academics I am also associated with adivasi (indigenous) people’s human right association in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India.
