Bio
I work on the histories of Portuguese colonialism in South Asia from the 18th-20th century. I am specifically working on the histories of colonial institutions in Portuguese Goa and how they ordered quotidian life. Outside my immediate area of research, I am also interested in Marathi public sphere and the histories of Modern theatre practice in India. My previous research was centered around histories of theatre practice in twentieth century Goa.
