Professor Haynes specializes in the history of South Asia, and has worked particularly on the urban history of western India.   His published work examines politics and political rhetoric, merchant activity, labor, and the role of artisan cloth producers in small towns.  His current research project concerns newspaper advertising and the construction of modern middle-class conjugality in western India.  Recent research he has done on sex tonic advertisement has led him to the subject of sexology and particularly to the figure of R.D. Karve.
