Her focus lies in the social processes that have an impact on the daily lives of women in urban India, such as caste and class. Theoretically, her interests include: feminist theory; ideas about gender; postcolonial theory; space, place and the body; identity; religion; notions of pure and impure; and structures of separation (e.g. caste, class, and jati).
