Biography

Khalid studies English at St Stephen's College, University of Delhi. He hails from Allahabad and is interested in literature and the documentation of people's stories and movements. After doing an internship with a family history company, he realised the importance of people's own testimonies in constructing their histories. He aims to study Indian Muslims in South Asia to understand better the community's diversity, especially in response to the multiple pressures on their identity that they now face. He is an ardent football fan and loves to watch a game with his friends. He is also passionate about poetry and is involved in theatre.
