Through her research, Pooja aims to understand everyday political life and its implications for Ethnonationalist projects, particularly Hindutva Nationalism in India. She aims to understand how ethno-nationalism and gender relations mutually shape each other and as such, she aims to explore the ways in which prefigurative politics becomes infused with the sociality of caste and gender hierarchies in spatial, ideational and material terms.
