My research examines how Indo-Guyanese communities reconstruct religious, cultural, and historical belonging across displacement. I am interested in the movement from Indian indenture in British Guiana to postcolonial Guyana and immigrant life in New York City.
My work centers mandirs, devotional music, oral history, family memory, community archives, and public rituals as historical sources. Rather than treating migration only as rupture, I examine how communities create continuity, authority, and meaning across changing social worlds.
Migration
Indenture, postcolonial movement, diaspora formation, and Indo-Guyanese settlement in New York.
Religion
Mandirs, devotional music, ritual life, conversion, caste, and religious adaptation across displacement.
Archives
Oral histories, family photographs, community records, newsletters, and public humanities collections.
