Passionate about exploring the subjective dimensions of historical change in South Asia. My research primarily focused on the emotional history, investigating the complex interplay between emotions, sociocultural relations, and the structures of power. While my fascination with the past drives my academic pursuits, cinema serves as a vital extension of this journey—it transforms my engagement with history into a lifelong exploration. Through the film’s lens, I uncover the rhythms and narratives that animate society, allowing emotion and visual culture to profoundly enrich my understanding of both past and present. My analyses often draw from interdisciplinary methods, seeking connections between historical memory, everyday affect, and creative expression.
