The author teaches Sociology at Hindu College, University of Delhi. He has also briefly taught at the department of sociology, Delhi School of Economics. His long-standing research interests centre around the anthropology of death, cremation as a contemporary global practice as well as grief and kinship. Apart from ethnographic research on funeral travelling in contemporary Banaras, the author has also studied cremation as a shifting ethical practice in twenty-first century Europe across two different locations, Denmark, and more recently, northern Italy.
