I’m a journalist and the author of The New India, a book of narrative reportage about the road to authoritarianism in India and its effects on ordinary citizens.

My work has been published in the Guardian Long Read, the New Yorker, the New York Times, Reuters Investigates, Quartz, Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, the Caravan, and other places.
