With primary training in the field of political theory and comparative politics, Dr Moggallan Bharti’s research concerns focus broadly on the normative in the field of social change and development, social norms, social movements and its political manifestations. Moggallan is particularly interested in dalit politics and its normative discourse in Indian society. The intersections of caste, class and gender in Indian politics are the core area of his ongoing research. His recent research aims to study the conditions that lead to the severe socio political marginalization of peoples in a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective. Historical prejudices as informed and cemented by the widespread social norms and how the same shapes the ongoing social and economic interactions are some aspects which informs his current research interests.
