The primary focus of my research is the emergence of a Muslim
women's movement in South Asia from the late nineteenth century. Within
this framework, I have a particular interest in education, social and
political organizations, the culture of travel, missionaries and personal
narratives. My prime regional focus is the princely state of Bhopal in
central India.
