Nandini Chatterjee University of Exeter I am a historian of South Asia. I work on law and cultural exchanges in the British and Mughal empires. My first book was on the shaping on the minority religious community of Indian Christians; I then worked on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, the final court of appeal for the British Empire. I am currently working on a project comparing legal documentation in Persian and associated languages in India, Iran and the Indian Ocean regions. The project is titled "Forms of Law in the Early Modern Persianate World, 17th-19th centuries," and is funded by the European Research Commission. |
