Harvard University has named Indian-origin professor Sugata Bose, as one of the recipients of the 2025 Walter Channing Cabot Fellowship.
Bose, the gardiner professor of oceanic history and affairs, was recognized for his 2024 book ‘Asia after Europe: Imagining a Continent in the Long Twentieth Century’ (Belknap Press of Harvard University Press). The book reexamines Asia’s transformation following the retreat of European colonial powers, weaving together a century-long narrative of decolonization, identity, and geopolitics.

A leading scholar in modern south asian and oceanic history, Bose joined Harvard in 2001. He previously held academic positions at Tufts University and St. Catharine’s College, Cambridge. A noted author, his works include A Hundred Horizons, His Majesty’s Opponent, and the widely used textbook Modern South Asia, co-authored with Ayesha Jalal.
Beyond academia, Bose has also contributed to public life, serving as a Member of Parliament in India from 2014 to 2019. He is widely respected for his democratic values and deep engagement with cultural and historical preservation, particularly through his editorial work on the writings of Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and translations of Rabindranath Tagore’s poetry.
The Cabot Fellowships are annually awarded by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences to recognize outstanding scholarly work in literature, history, and the arts.
