My research is based in Uttar Pradesh, India where I study how exogamous romantic relationships, such as inter-religious or inter-caste relationships, are policed and criminalized despite there being no laws prohibiting such relationships.
I hold a degree in Law from the National University of Juridical Sciences, Kolkata. Prior to joining the graduate program at Rutgers, I worked at the Right to Education Resource Centre at IIM-Ahmedabad and at the Centre for Law and Policy Research, Bangalore.
