I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Pluralist Agreement and Constitutional Transformation (PACT), the Quill Project (www.quill.pmb.ox.ac.uk). My research focuses on Indian constitutional thought, examining the debates and processes involved in drafting the Indian Constitution. Beyond the deliberations of the Constituent Assembly of India (1946–1950), I examine public engagement in the process of constitution-making to shed light on the petitionary cultures of South Asia.. Trained as a sociologist, I am particularly interested in applying historical methods to investigate contemporary social phenomena. For my doctoral thesis, I studied medical epistemologies influencing leprosy policy in India, conducting an ethnographic study of leprosy complex in Delhi.
I am a doctoral candidate in Sociology at the School of Liberal Studies, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi, India. To undertake my doctoral work, I was awarded the Junior Research Fellowship (later promoted to Senior Research Fellowship) by the University Grants Commission, India. During this period, I served as a teaching assistant for the undergraduate sociology course titled 'Indian Society: Continuity, Contradictions, and Paradoxes.' Before starting my doctoral journey, I worked as a Research Assistant to Legislators at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Contemporary Studies, India
