My present work focuses on the interface between religion, gender and philosophy. I work on the Indic traditions, in terms of religious cultures, literary, philosophical and scriptural texts and performative traditions. Apart from these, my areas of interest include theories of performing arts, literary and cultural theories, ethnography, philosophy of speech and communication, myth and folklore studies, postcolonial literature, border studies etc.
