Professor Nandini Chatterjee (University of Exeter) works on law and cultural exchanges in the British and Mughal empires – with particular attention to religion and family. Her first book was on the shaping on the minority religious community of Indian Christians, through legal, political, racial and theological contests over the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Her second book is a rare micro-history of a family of zamindars (landlords) and their negotiation of the  laws of the Mughal empire.
