A Miranda House, University of Delhi alumna, when she isn’t writing or reading about Gender and the future of Dalit assertion and politics—topics that completely consume her—she is hoarding books she plans to read someday. She can often be found talking about women in literature, poetry, feminist revolutions, and her lovely students.A firm believer in the power of marginalized voices and their assertive spirit, Vaishnavi has served as the President of the SOAS Ambedkar Society. She envisions herself contributing to the cause in her own small ways—one class, one student, one paper, and one revolution at a time.
