I am an International Relations scholar specialized in the history and theory of international relations, the study of global encounters, connectivities, historical and intellectual entanglements, and the study of knowledge formation, epistemic practices, epistemologies, and their interlinkages with the realm of politics, the exercise of power, and the institution and governance of political orders with a special focus on the Islamic world/Eurasia and the Indian Ocean region. My work is characterized by interdisciplinarity as it cut across the disciplines of International Relations, History, History of Science, Philosophy, Theology, Anthropology and Literature and my research interests include History and Theory of International Relations, Global Connected Histories, Intellectual History, History of Science, Global Encounters, Diplomacy, Entanglements, Questions of Epistemology and Ontology, Epistemic Practices, Knowledge-Power Nexus, Postcolonialism and Decoloniality, Metaphysics, Religion, Political Theology, and Aesthetics.

This project explores various forms, dimensions and shapes of non-Western agency in world politics in history and contemporary times and illustrates how this has and continues to constitute world politics in various ways.
