He joined Monash University in 1970 and taught here for nearly forty years, before retiring in 2009. He researches on modern India and Pakistan, Indian religious history and comparative colonialism. His earlier publications, which followed on from his doctoral work, looked at the relations of the Indian princely states with the British Raj during the high, and late, colonial periods; they included The British Raj and the Indian Princes: Paramountcy in Western India, 1857-1930 (Bombay: Orient Longman, 1982) and The Princes of India in the Endgame of Empire, 1917-1947 (Cambridge/New York: Cambridge University Press, 1997). Subsequently Ian turned to investigating Hindu-Muslim communal relations in the colonial context, and the role of religion in facilitating and complicating the business of governance. The results of these inquiries are reported in: State, Community and Neighbourhood in Princely North India, c. 1900-1950 (Basingstoke/New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2005) and A History of State and Religion in India (Abingdon/New York: Routledge, 2012), jointly written with four colleagues.
