About

I am currently based in the Department of Anthropology as a Guest Lecturer. I teach core courses viz: Introduction to Social Anthropology, Introduction to Culture Theories, Study of Indian Society, Applied Anthropology, Tribal Welfare, Indian Civilization Thought, Approaches to Social Cultural Change, Anthropological Theories of Human Society and Qualitative Research Methods.
I teach these course mainly to students coming from various discursive backgrounds as a part of Undergraduate and Postgraduate courses that are offered by my department. Prior to this I have worked on a National Level Central Government Project which was aimed to understand the social, economic and cultural dimensions of the Nomadic, Semi-Nomadic and Denotified (Criminal Tribes) of India. The project was conducted by Niti Aayog and the Anthropological Survey of India. I was based in the latter institution as a project fellow during the 1st year of the project begining in 2021 uptil 2022.
My doctoral thesis is a study of the social and cultural lives and status of belonging in terms of the Indian-Chinese diaspora residing in the Indian cities of Kolkata & Mumbai
