She has taught at St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, and been Visiting Professor at the Universities of Chicago, Yale, Witwatersrand, and Gottingen. Her work focuses on the intersections of religion, gender, caste and politics in both colonial and postcolonial South Asia, in particular on women and the Hindu Right. Her several books include Hindu Wife, Hindu Nation (2001), Rebels, Wives, Saints (2009) and Hindu Nationalism in India (2022).
