Priyamvada Gopal：我的早期研究关注的是对抵抗运动本身的反抗。我对那些挑战民族国家项目，质疑平等、权力和压迫的作家感兴趣。我意识到自己一直对异议问题感兴趣，特别是对抵抗运动内部的异议，这需要特殊的勇气。我试图理解在声称具有对抗性的运动中，反对的声音是什么样的。 Priyamvada Gopal：后来，我受邀撰写关于印度英语文学的书籍，我发现印度英语文学非常自觉地关注成为印度人或巴基斯坦人的意义。这与本土文学不同，本土文学较少关注民族认同。我对文学如何参与历史问题很感兴趣。 Priyamvada Gopal：在参与关于帝国主义的公共讨论后，我开始撰写《叛乱帝国》。我听到一种观点，认为我们不能用今天的标准来评判过去。我对此表示怀疑，并开始研究帝国批评家的著作。我发现，许多人希望向被殖民文化学习，并亲眼目睹反殖民运动改变了他们的观点。我的作品主要关注民族问题、我们与历史的关系以及异议问题。现在，我正在进行一个关于去殖民化的项目，希望将这些线索联系起来。
