Dear Colleagues ~

On behalf of Brian Hatcher, Abhishek Amar, and myself, I am pleased to draw your attention to the first of a special two-issue series of the Journal of Hindu Studies.

Death Matters: Samādhis, Dargāhs and Relics in South Asia

Many thanks to all the authors for their fine contributions. A special thanks to JHS editor Jessica Frazier for the initial invitation and for your guiding hand moving these issues to publication. And finally, our deepest gratitude to the staff of JHS for managing to put this issue out during such a difficult and trying time.

The second issue will be published later this year.

With best wishes,

Mark
