Research Interests

My studies cover two major aspects: the symbolic politics of elites and 
politicization of ethnic differences, especially in Sri Lanka. My most 
recent research examines issues pertaining to Muslims in Sri Lanka.  My 
scholarly pursuit has born fruit as publications in leading journals in my 
areas of study, such as the Journal of Asian and African Studies (JAAS), 
the Journal of Third World Studies (JTWS) and Asian Affairs. In addition, 
I have published a number of research findings in international 
newspapers. Besides, I am contributing a chapter on religion and politics 
in Sri Lanka to a book project on religion and politics in South Asia 
(http://www.routledgepolitics.com/books/Religion-and-Politics-in-South-Asia-isbn9780415778015).

In recent years, my research has been concerned with the rising religious 
trends in South Asia and Middle East. Over the next few years, my project 
would focus on religious illiberalism and its inherent challenges to 
secular regimes and political actors in South Asia and the Middle East.
