Dear Colleagues,

Apologies for cross-posting. 

The Journal of Hindu Studies welcomes open submission of articles and book reviews from scholars working on all areas of Hindu Studies. We also invite proposals for guest-edited themed issues. The Journal is running without any backlog and aims to have submissions reviewed within 8 weeks. Successful articles can potentially be published online in our advance articles section within 4-6 months of submission. 

In recognition of the centrality of translation to the field of Hindu Studies, as well as the dearth of established venues for publishing article-length translation pieces, the Journal is now also welcoming translation-based articles that feature translations of short texts, or sections of texts, in South Asian languages relevant to Hindu Studies. For more information on this new article type, see: https://academic.oup.com/jhs/pages/General_Instructions ('Translation Article Submissions').   

The latest issue (17.2) of the Journal of Hindu Studies was recently published. Please find the table of contents below.
