The book was also shortlisted for the Royal Historical Society's Gladstone Book Prize and the Karwaan Book Award.

The Internationalist Moment offers a collection of essays that look at South Asia's political, social, and intellectual engagements with the wider world between the Bolshevik Revolution and the onset of the Second World War. In addition, his work has appeared in Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa, and the Middle East; South Asia: Journal of South Asian Studies; Itinerario; South Asian History and Culture; and Contemporary South Asia as well as numerous edited volumes and other publications.
