Luna Sabastian is the Smuts Research Fellow for 2019 to 2021, a position she assumed after completing a PhD thesis on “Indian Political Thought and German Fascism, ca. 1918 to 1950.” With a background in Religious Studies, Postcolonial Studies, and finally History, her past research includes work on Hindutva. Her current research explores themes of race, caste, and gender in Indian nationalist thought, which, she hypothesises, had relevance much beyond the subcontinent.
