Ravinder Kaur is Associate Professor of Modern South Asian Studies at the University of Copenhagen. She works across the disciplines of history, anthropology and international politics. Her core research focuses on the processes of capitalist transformations in twenty-first-century India. This is the subject of her most recent book Brand New Nation: Capitalist Dreams and Nationalist Designs in Twenty-First-Century India (2020). Tracing the long history of the economic reforms, the book delves into the yet ongoing transformation of the postcolonial nation into an ‘attractive investment destination’ and the attendant rise of investment-fuelled cultural nationalism.
