Biography
Jonathan Koshy Varghese is an Assistant Professor at Lady Shri Ram College, University of Delhi. His work involves the study of textual practices such as petitions, memorandums, colonial-state surveillance papers, confidential letters, and judicial statements as they came to be formulated during the course of the 19th and up to the mid-20th century. The aim of his project is to assimilate the textual practices of three archival resources – religious, colonial and judicial – in order to generate a critical, secular and essentially global history of the Suriyani (Christian) community of India.
