Welcome!

I am Professor of Comparative and South Asian Politics at the Oxford School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA), and Fellow of Wolfson College, the University of Oxford. 

My first book, Development after Statism: Industrial Firms and the Political Economy of South Asia, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2017.  My second book, Patchwork States: the Historical Roots of Subnational Conflict and Competition in South Asia was published by Cambridge University Press in 2022. My third book, Righteous Demagogues: Populist Politics in South Asia and Beyond (coauthored with Pradeep Chhibber) was published by Oxford University Press.  My broader research interests in comparative politics and political economy include populism and democratic contestation, comparative national development, state formation and political order.
