A happy busy weekend🤞-- presented at the #NEPCA Conf this Friday where I talked about Mughal milk mothers, followed by a discussion on Jahanara Begum at the #IGSS Conf -- thanks to both the organisers and my chairs Sikha at NEPCA and Elle at IGSS :-)

#throwback to the delightful evening of presenting and reconnecting with
@harrygilbert.bsky.social & @clarabchamberlain.bsky.social at @memrn.bsky.social!

Had a lovely time integrating and "law" and "partition literature" to show women's experience of 1947 today at
@milwelfhist.bsky.social Conference at Graz! Grateful to @vikiwi.bsky.social ‬for handling everything! #milwelhist

Really enjoyed @jaswalc05.bsky.social's research on early modern Mughal motherhood at MemsFest, too.

Throwback to presenting at the prestigious
@asecsoffice.bsky.social conf in April which ended up extending by 30 mins as my co-panellists & I found so many intersections in our researches!
Esp grateful to Dr @bcblessing.bsky.social for her endless support. Wouldn't be there w/o the generous grant.

Chandini Jaswal’s (@jaswalc05.bsky.social) article ‘Calling on Waris Shah: Contextualising the Silence of Women in Partition through Amrita Pritam’s Oeuvre’

We're excited to get our 2025 Digital Seminar Series going! Why not start the new year with the RSN by joining us on January 21 at 6pm UK time for @jaswalc05.bsky.social's paper on "Insān-i Kāmil: The ‘Perfect Woman’ of the Mughal Empire".

A quick stop before exam season! A quick stop before the exam season! So honoured to presenting my work tonight at 9 PM IST | 3:30 PM BST | 10 AM ET at @yorkuniversity.bsky.social! DM for link🙂

I only wrote a small part of this book, but I’m thrilled it’s getting readers!

And for those whose work focuses on South Asia, any culture, tradition, or discipline—though likely humanities and social sciences at its core

This list too is a work in progress; please comment to be added or suggest adds.

People are a lot like books except I look forward to books showing up at my front door unannounced

Beginning my BlueSky journey with an appreciation post for a splendid scholarship I am currently reading — Thank you Prof @audreytruschke.bsky.social, for writing this beautiful book!
