Suchintan Das, Oxford Rhodes Scholar, on Empire, War and Mass Detention in Imperial India

Rhodes Scholar Suchintan Das talks to Hazel Kahan on Tidings about mass detention, the subject of his D.Phil thesis at Oxford University: Empire, War, and Mass-Detention: A History of Encampment and Internment in India (1937-1967). Through case studies, Das shows how encampment and internment in wartime and post-war India illuminate mass detention policies and practices so familiar to us in America today.  (WPKN May 4, 2026)
