In 2017, Kavita wrote and presented the groundbreaking three-part series, Partition Voices, aired on Radio 4, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the partition of India. This exceptional work earned her The Royal Historical Society’s esteemed Best Radio and Podcast prize and its overall Public History Prize.

In 2019, she expanded on the documentary's impact by publishing the book "Partition Voices: Untold British Stories."

Kavita is the creator of Radio 4’s "Three Pounds in My Pocket," a program she both writes and hosts. This groundbreaking series holds the distinction of being the first to document the social history of South Asians in post-war Britain.
