“Noble is your aim and sublime and glorious is your mission. Blessed are those who are awakened to their duty to those among whom they are born. Glory to those who devote their time, talents and their all to the amelioration of slavery. Glory to those who would reap their struggle for the liberation of the enslaved in spite of heavy odds, carpine humiliation, storms and dangers till the downtrodden secure their Human Rights.”

Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

I study Anthropology, a discipline that consistently demonstrate and scrutinize the diverse ways humans construct, interpret, and inhabit their social and cultural worlds. In other words Anthropology remind us that there are many ways to be Human. Anthropology is the study of what makes us human.

This site collects my working notes, and the occasional long-form post on how my research and personal life going on.

Most weeks I am some combination of reading, writing, listen music trying to explore a programming language I thought of learning past month, and rewriting the introduction of a paper for the sixth time. The Blog is where the semi filtered version of my thought process shows up.
