I am happy to share that my second book Asianism and the Fall of Empire: India's Road to Freedom will be published in March 2026 by the University of California Press. @IndianHistory_C@historycong@AAPIData
It explores the transnational history of Asianism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and its role in shaping Indian anticolonialism against British rule.
More soon.
