In the broadest sense, I am interested in economic development and migration in Kerala, South India. My focus is on migrant communities, especially the Mappila Muslims of Kannur (a small district in Kerala), their significant presence in trade and industry in the area, the increasing inflow of Gulf remittances and its impact on the economic development of the region.
