- PhD Topic:
- Rahul has recently defended his PhD at ICwS, School of Advanced Study, University of London in a record time of three years. He was a recipient of Louise Arbor Studentship and Yusuf Ali Bursary. He has previously submitted my MPhil at Centre for Political Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University. He has been trained in the discipline of Political Science for 7 years in the course of obtaining degrees up until MPhil. At the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, his work presents an inter-disciplinary approach to illustrate the role of symbolism, memory, oral history to understand contemporary Adivasi (Indigenous Peoples) politics. It investigates the making of Adivasi icon, Birsa Munda, in the contemporary Jharkhand using the framework of subaltern and memory studies. Currently, he is working on his manuscript! Feel free to contact for any inquiry.
