Abinash’s research focuses on the medieval and early modern Indian literatures, particularly the literary traditions in bhasa sahitya with a focus on the role of translation and Self-formation. He is also interested in the ways in which literature and religion interact through translation and performance traditions to produce stable identities in that period. More generally, he is interested in studying the ways in which the pre-modern world perceived and constructed the notion of ‘alterity’ by interrogating literary artifacts. Before beginning the doctoral journey, he worked as a freelance journalist and reported on the state of environmental and constitutional rights in India, and still continues to write widely in newspapers and magazines on matters related to relevance of religion and faith in the modern world.
