undergraduate level. I also teach Economic History of modern South Asia
during colonial rule at the master level in Delhi university. I have
taught Modern South Asian history at the Dept. of History, Syracuse

of Nationalism and Communalism in Modern South Asia; and Colonization of
Indian Economy 1760- 1947. I did my doctoral thesis at the Centre for

in 1984 on the subject of Assam tea plantations and labour force in
colonial India. I can speak Punjabi, Hindi, Bengali, Assamese and English. 
I was a post-doctoral fellow at the Nehru Museum and Memorial Library
