Abstract
In this article, we have done a thorough investigation of the possible effects of interaction between dark matter (DM) and neutrinos on reionization history. We have constrained the interaction strength using 21 cm Cosmology and found out possible deviations from standard, non-interacting CDM scenario. Comparing the results with the existing constraints from present cosmological observations reveals that 21 cm observations are more competent to constrain the interaction strength by a few orders of magnitude. We have also searched for prospects of detecting any such interaction in the upcoming 21 cm mission SKA1-Low by doing a forecast analysis and error estimation.
