Glad to share that Asiya Islam and Rahul Ranjan will be delivering the inaugural lectures on feminist ethnographies and ethnography of memory as a part of the 'Exploring Ethnographies: A Lecture Series' that I am organising at Jindal School of International Affairs.

Thank you. I am very grateful to the Centre and Somerville College for their support and recognition.

On the idea of Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, my column for Indian Express argues for memory and memorials, and against nationalist histories as pathways to remember the trauma of partition. Read here. indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

Liberals fail to understand that the Kanwad Path is a problem bigger than an ecological one. My earlier piece for Indian Express explains how Hindutva is morphing our cities to create hate and Hindu supremacy. #KawadYatra #hindutva indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

Bulldozer justice in India needs to stop. I welcome this effort by the Supreme Court to take action. The bottom line: no punitive demolitions of homes anymore. Avoid discriminatory impact and ensure alternative housing if there is risk of homelessness. m.thewire.in/article/law/ho…

My latest publication co-authored with Dr Raphael Susewind for Sage’s Social and Legal Studies in the special issue “Rule(s) of Law Under Hindutva” examines the relationship between Law, Politics and Ghettoisation in India. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09…

In ‘Totalitarian Law and Communal Ghettoisation’, Fahad Zuberi and Raphael Susewind explore how legal institutions and frameworks are exploited to cement Muslims’ spatial segregation in contemporary India. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/09… (6/8)

This Fall, I have joined Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a PhD scholar in Architectural History and Philosophy at MIT’s Department of Architecture. Here, my research will focus on the intersection between Architecture, Politics and Violence in India’s history.

Presented my research “Punitive Domicide: Bulldozer Justice and Punishment in India” at BASAS Annual Conference 2024 King's College London today. Credits to Raphael Susewind and BASAS for organising a thought provoking panel on new forms of violence in India.

I severely condemn yet another attack on people sheltering in Al-Mawasi in the so-called Khan Younis “safe zone”. There is zero attention to proportionality or distinction. Attacks on shelters are war crimes and crimes against humanity. theguardian.com/world/article/…

The Government of Goa has enabled erosion of its Eco-Sensitive zones. I was in Goa during the 2022 Assembly elections and land laws were an election issue. My column for Herald Publications explains how land is at the centre of politics in Goa. Read here. heraldgoa.in/Edit/Opinions/…

Private visits don’t happen with a camera crew, by definition. Most importantly, in a country where millions are facing a majoritarian onslaught on their human rights, it was very inappropriate for the CJI and the PM to be publicly partaking in those majoritarian rituals. #cji

The SC’s order halting all demolitions in India is extremely critical. It shows that the court recognised that the state is punishing its own citizens using house demolitions - domicide. Thank you ravish kumar for this video. #domicide #BulldozerInjustice youtu.be/CR1Y9cUD-CY?si…
