Dipesh Chakrabarty attended [[Presidency College, Kolkata|Presidency College]] of the [[University of Calcutta]], where he received his undergraduate degree in physics. He also received a [[Post Graduate Diploma in Management|Post Graduate Diploma in Management (MBA)]] from [[Indian Institute of Management Calcutta]].

He is currently the Lawrence A. Kimpton Distinguished Service Professor of History, South Asian Languages and Civilizations and the College at the [[University of Chicago]]. He was a visiting faculty at the [[Centre for Studies in Social Sciences, Calcutta]]. Chakrabarty also serves as a contributing editor for [[Public Culture]], an academic journal published by [[Duke University Press]].{{citation needed|date=March 2018}}

He was a member of the [[Subaltern Studies]] collective. He has recently made important contributions to the intersections between history and [[postcolonial theory]] (''Provincializing Europe'' [''PE'']), which continues and revises his earlier historical work on working-class history in Bengal (''Rethinking Working-Class History''). ''PE'' adds considerably to the debate of how postcolonial discourse engages in the writing of history (e.g., [[Robert J. C. Young]]'s "White Mythologies"), critiquing [[historicism]], which is intimately related to the West's notion of linear time. Chakrabarty argues that Western [[historiography]]'s historicism universalizes [[liberalism]], projecting it to all ends of the map. He suggests that, under the rubric of historicism, the end-goal of every society is to develop towards [[nationalism]].{{citation needed|date=October 2013}}
