Neha graduated in History from Jadavpur University. Currently she is pursuing her post graduate studies in the same department. She has received the M.A.-level SYLFF fellowship for 2009-10.  

She has a general interest in the endeavour to comprehend the unfolding of social and political processes accompanying the transition from the colonial to the post-colonial regime in the Indian subcontinent as well as their current dynamics. With an inclination to understand the terms of political articulations of particular disaffected groups in documents of resistance in India’s democratic polity, she plans to work on forms of peasant-response to the contemporary marginalization of peasants, by taking up two contrasting traditions of peasant-mobilization- the Bharatiya Kisan Union in Western Uttar Pradesh and the Krishak Sabha in West Bengal.  

Neha takes a keen interest in literature, in philosophy, and in Indian music.
