I am a literary critic and academic. I have written extensively on literature, media, culture and history. My recently published work Meera Vs Meera is English translation of my well-received Hindi book Pachrang Chola Paher Sakhi ri. The work is focused on the medieval Bhakti Poetess Meera Bai’s life and society. I have also written a book on a great scholar of Oriental Studies, Muni Jinvijay which has been published by Sahitya Akademi in its ‘Makers of Indian Literature’ series.

I have compiled anthologies of Meera Bai’s poetry entitled Meera Rachana Sanchayan (2017) & analytical essays on non-fictional prose in Hindi, entitled Kathetar (2017) for Sahitya Akademi. My other major published works include Saune Kat na Lage (2022), Ek Bhav-Anek Nam (2022), Dehri par Deepak ( 2021),  Soordas, Tulsidas, Meera & Amir Khusaro ( 2021),  Seedhiyan Chadhata Media (2012), Media, Sahitya aur Sanskriti (2006), Kavita Ka Poora Drishya (1992), Tani Hui Rassi Par (1987). Besides this I have published more than 100 papers, monographs, reviews etc. in various journals of repute.
