Garima Dhabhai

Assistant Professor

I am interested in questions of urban space, political economy of heritage,  public spectacles and transition to  the post-colonial state, with regard to the merger of princely territories in India. Methodologically, I try to bring together strands of political economy and cultural idioms of power. I have been looking at the transformations in the city of Jaipur in Rajasthan in the context of economic liberalization in the 1990s and the burgeoning heritage tourism economy there. This includes a study of politics around land and conservation in the old city as also the changing role of the princely elite.
