description of work:

My teaching and research interests, generally, are 19th and 20th century 
Indian history, with an emphasis on Islam, Muslims in India, education, and 
women in South Asia.  My publications include: The Khilafat Movement 
(Columbia UP and OUP Delhi, 1982); The Extended Family (ed. vol. on women's 
participation in politics in India and Pakistan - 1981); Voices of Silence 
(tr. from Urdu of Altaf Husain Hali's works about women - 1986); editing of 
Ian H. Douglas, Abul Kalam Azad: A Religious and Intellectual Biography (OUP 
Delhi, 1988).  I have recently completed a book-length manuscript on the 
history of women's education among Indian Muslims in the late 19th and early 
20th cs.  My current research interests focus on the intellectual history of 
the city of Delhi in the generation before 1857.
