Profile
Deeksha’s research interests lie at the intersection of equality, family, and labour law. She is particularly interested in how legal regimes construct and sustain relationships of care and control. She is also deeply engaged with animal rights and politics, examining the ways in which legal regulation mediates hierarchies of species, caste, and religion in India.
Deeksha has diverse academic and research experience across multiple domains. She has worked on the Laws of Social Reproduction project at King’s College London, focussing on women’s unpaid domestic and care work. She has also contributed to research on the legal status of captive elephants in India as part of her work at the Centre for Research on Animal Rights.
Presently, she is engaged with the Social Life of Authoritarian Legality project at SOAS University of London, where she researches and analyses data on religious conversion in India.
