Biography

I obtained my BA in History from Presidency College (Kolkata) and my MA and MPhil in Modern History from Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi). 

My doctoral research at ETH Zurich, funded by a Swiss Government Excellence Scholarship, examined how journalists and broadcasters popularised cricket as an ideal everyday leisure activity in twentieth-century Calcutta. In doing so, it shed light on the dynamics of cultural transfer and the afterlife of colonialism in a decolonising society, integrating the histories of everyday life, popular culture, regional politics, and the transnational circulation of ideas in a postcolonial context. This research led to a monograph that explored how cricket gave the Bengalis of postcolonial Calcutta a tool to understand and form themselves as a cultural community, creating new social relationships.

After completing my PhD, I taught History at the West Bengal State University and the Indian Institute of Management Rohtak. Prior to joining Glasgow, I held a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship at Durham University. This project extended my work on decolonisation by examining cricket’s significance as a tool of reshaping Indo-British relationship after India’s independence, focussing on issues of race, mobility, migration, diplomacy, and environment. This research has laid the foundation for my second monograph, which will examine the role of sport in recasting the British World and the Commonwealth in the 1940s-60s.
