In ihrer Publikation Colonialism, Development, and the Environment: Railways and Deforestation in British India (2015) untersucht sie die koloniale Begegnung zwischen Großbritannien und Indien im Hinblick auf wirtschaftliche Entwicklung, einschließlich wissenschaftlicher und technologischer Veränderungen, sowie deren Auswirkungen auf die Umwelt Indiens.

Im März 2025 führte das TMW-Forschungsteam ein englischsprachiges Interview mit Palavi Das zum ökologischen Erbe des Eisenbahnbaus. Dabei ging es um folgende Fragen:

-  How did the expansion of colonial infrastructures like the railway impact the environment in India?

- What was the impact of railway construction specifically in the Northwest of colonial India in the region?

- What are the sustained effects of the railway expansion that are tangible in India today?

- Can the approach of a “decolonial ecology” be applied the context of India – if so, how? Or: why not?

- How does the awareness of the colonial legacy regarding the environment/ these historical implications shape environmental policies and activism in India today?
