My research explores death, grief, and funerary practices in the Lakshadweep archipelago, with a particular emphasis on how these experiences are shaped by Islamic eschatology, local cosmologies, and the affective rhythms of everyday life. Grounded in a phenomenological approach, I attend to the embodied and sensorial dimensions of grief, how it is lived, expressed, and ritualized through touch, sound, scent, and material forms. I examine how mourning practices mediate relationships not only between the living and the dead, but also with non-human presences and unseen forces that populate island imaginaries. Graveyards, remembrance objects, and oral narratives become vital sites through which grief is articulated and memory is sustained across generations. Set against the backdrop of postcolonial South Asia, my work considers how historical ruptures, linguistic marginalization, and ecological precarity shape the politics of loss and the social life of death. Rather than treating death as a moment of rupture alone, I trace how it becomes a continuous process of care, of relation, of world making. In the Lakshadweep islands, death is not only a private sorrow but a deeply social and spatial event, entangled with kinship, migration, and spiritual futures. My research seeks to render these entanglements ethnographically, theoretically, and ethically visible.
