I have worked at the University of Manchester since 2000. I was awarded my PhD in the field of religion and politics by the University of Bristol in 1998. I also have an M.Phil in Modern Indian History from Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.

I am a historian by training, and have worked extensively on the development of the Hindu nationalist movement. My published work includes Religious Traditions in Modern South Asia (London: Routledge, 2011), The Emergence of Hindu Nationalism in India (Oxford University Press, 2000) and two volumes edited in collaboration with other colleagues: Decentring the Indian Nation? (London: Frank Cass, 2003), with Andrew Wyatt, and Politics of Cultural Mobilisation in India (New Delhi: Oxford University Press, 2004) with Andrew Wyatt and Vernon Hewitt. I have also worked on the World Parliament of Religions and the representation of religious identities in the contemporary world.

I have been the editor of the journal Contemporary South Asia since January 2008.
