Pleased to share my Journal of Global History article with Harald Fischer-Tiné, on the bicycle’s socio-cultural impact beyond the West, the complicit masculinity of Indian cyclotourists, and world tours as a novel form of anti-imperial counter-mobility, 1920s-30s. bit.ly/47P968G

Harald Fischer-Tińe (ETH Zurich) and Souvik Naha excavate the history of Indian intercontinental cycling journeys c.1923-1942. They show the impact of the bicycle outside of the West, revealing how it shaped the "self-fashioning of Indian cyclotourists." doi.org/10.1017/S17400…

Thought today would be an apt day to announce that my book on the summer Olympics will be published in the lead up to #Paris2024 I had a lot of fun accumulating stories and questions from Athens, 1896 to Tokyo, 2021 - hope those of you who read it like it as well :)

I no longer feel inspired to write. Was looking at my first submission to a journal earlier today. I was 23, and happier.

Wrote a history of Britain's efforts to retain close ties with its former South Asian colonies through ‘the greatest permanent link between this country and the East’ - cricket! Part of a larger project on the reshaping of the post-war British World. academic.oup.com/ehr/article/do…
