I am much interested in exploring studies on religion, especially on Islam and related topics. I have completed my Master of Philosophy on the topic of “Conceptualizing Muslim Identity in Kerala: A Study of the Post- Independence Scenario” with Prof. Rattanlal Hangloo, at the University of Hyderabad. Presently I am pursuing PhD on the topic of Religious Ideologies and Political Strategies of Indian Union Muslim League in Kerala in the post-1990s at the Department of Political Science, University of Hyderabad, with Prof. Arunkumar Patnaik. My major interest is to challenge the existing mode of analyzing Islam which results in a kind of generalization/misinterpretation of Islam and raises certain doubts about the compatibility of Islam with democracy and secularism (or with the aspects of Modernity). I am particularly focussing on Muslims in India and their socio, political, economic and cultural perspective. My goal is to become part of an academia that will contribute to the development of society and scholarship.
