Laidlaw Scholarship Research Proposal
My research proposal examines the intersection of women’s rights and anti-colonial movements in 20th Century India, with a focus on the writings and activism of Kamini Roy and other Indian poets and suffragists.
2021-22 Laidlaw Scholar, Columbia University
I am an alumna of the 2021-22 Columbia Laidlaw Scholars cohort, and graduated from Columbia (CC'24) with majors in History and Mathematics. My Laidlaw research centered on the women's movement in early twentieth-century British India. My first summer focused on the Indian writer, educator, and activist Mahadevi Varma, and my second summer focused on networks of women from across the British empire attending the Oxford in the 1910s-30s at the Unstable Archives Project.

This is so cool Mrinalini! Really excited to see the end result- it must be exciting to build on such powerful previous research to get these voices heard in a world where that previously may not have been possible :)
