I am a Wellcome Trust Postdoctoral Fellow at the Faculty of History, Cambridge. I am a historian of modern Britain, South Asia and global history. My current project looks at the politics of race, migration and sexuality during the AIDS epidemic in Britain. In particular, I look at how forms of African and Asian mobility became key to racialised border practices, while also producing new forms of Black and Asian action in Britain. 

My first book Passages through India: Indian Gurus, Western Disciples and the Politics of Indophilia (Cambridge Uni. Pres, 2023) examines the phenomenon of western Indophilia and its long term exclusionary consequences.
