Aryendra Chakravartty

Aryendra Chakravartty is an Associate Professor in the Department of History at Stephen F. Austin State University's College of Liberal and Applied Arts. His research focuses on colonial South Asian history, particularly examining archival practices, caste dynamics, language politics, and regional identity formation during the British Raj.

Recent publications like Technologies of Knowledge (2024) analyze colonial documentation systems and their impact on historical narratives. His work on Darbhanga Raj (2024) explores intersections of caste and linguistic identity in late colonial India, while earlier research (2013-2018) investigated territorial self-fashioning in Bihar and modernity's contested manifestations.

Chakravartty's scholarship bridges historical analysis with interdisciplinary approaches to archival studies, contributing to debates about knowledge production in colonial contexts.
