I am a doctoral candidate at Centre for West Asian Studies in Jawaharlal Nehru University and my theisis is on Sustainable Development in Jordan. Even though my thesis is specifically on Jordan, i have published papers on other countries and areas in the region. My core area is regional development and have done some slum surveys in my country. I am co-authoring a book on Persian Gulf 2018: India's Relations with the Region which will be published soon this year.
