Research interests
I am interested in the intellectual history and political thought of modern South Asia as well as in the emergence of Islam as a global category. In my research I have focussed on the cultural and philosophical meanings of violence as much as the emergence of non-violence as a political project.

My recent work deals with efforts to think beyond the nation-state and the inheritance of anarchism in the post-colonial world.
