ABOUT
I work at the intersections of psychoanalysis, trauma, caste, and cultural memory.
I am the author of two monographs: Lacanian Non-Rapport in the Novels of John Fowles: Impossible Relationships (Routledge, 2026) and Jacques Lacan: From Clinic to Culture (Orient BlackSwan, 2018). I have co-edited two volumes: Dalit Studies: Key Terms and Concepts (Routledge, 2026) and Holocaust vs. Popular Culture: Interrogating Incompatibility and Universalization (Routledge, 2023).
My research has appeared in leading peer-reviewed journals and has been presented at international conferences and workshops hosted by academic institutions in India, Belgium, Croatia, Germany, Hungary, and the United Kingdom.
My work has received international recognition, including the Seal of Excellence from the European Commission (Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellowship) and grants from Open Society University Network (OSUN), Lower Saxony Memorial Foundation, and University College London.
RECENT BOOK
Lacanian Non-Rapport in the Novels of John Fowles: Impossible Relationships (Routledge, 2026) studies John Fowles's six novels through Lacan's concept of sexual non-rapport, showing how the impossibility of sexual rapport structures both his characters' relationships and his enigmatic narrative forms.
