Call for Papers

 Now in its twelfth year of publication, the _International Journal of Hindu 
 Studies_ is committed to publishing excellent scholarship on well-established 
 topics in Hindu Studies (or South Asian religions in ways that will connect with 
 Hindu texts or traditions), to fostering new work in neglected areas, and to 
 stimulating alternative perspectives as well as exchange of information on a 
 wide range of issues. The Journal supports critical inquiry, hermeneutical 
 interpretive proposals, and historical investigation into all aspects of Hindu 
 traditions. 

 While committed to publishing articles that will advance scholarship in any 
 discipline relevant to Hindu Studies, the Journal is especially interested in areas 
 of research that have cross-disciplinary relevance or new implications for this 
 emerging field of scholarly interest. Submissions of a comparative or theoretical 
 nature in every discipline in the humanities and social sciences will receive 
 serious and respectful consideration. Each submission to the Journal will receive 
 double-blind review.

 The aims of the _International Journal of Hindu Studies_ can be met only if we 
 are able to think about its title "Hindu Studies" in a broadly civilizational way 
 rather than in some parochial or narrowly religious way. There is no need to 
 think in terms of the religious versus secular dichotomy when referring to things 
 Hindu. No need to restrict articles or other contributions to the realm of 
 "religion."

 We no longer have the backlog that characterized the Journal for some time. 
 Once accepted in final form, an article will go into the next issue. 

 The journal is published by Springer and is available online and in print.

 Completed manuscripts (in PDF format preferably, without author identification 
 for a double-blind review process) and correspondence regarding material for 
 possible publication and editorial matters should be sent to the editor: Sushil 
 Mittal <mittalsx@jmu.edu>.

 Books for review and correspondence from prospective authors regarding the 
 arranging and writing of book reviews should be sent to the book review editor: 
 Karen Pechilis <kpechili@drew.edu>.
