Call for manuscript submissions: South Asian History and Culture Books Series (Routledge)
The South Asian History and Culture Series (India) is now receiving submissions of manuscripts for monographs. All interested in submitting manuscripts for consideration should first submit a
proposal on a book proposal form to Dr. Sharmistha Gooptu, sharmishthag@yahoo.com. For any queries, or to get a copy of the proposal form please contact Dr. Gooptu.

This series brings together research on South Asia in the humanities and social sciences, and provides scholars with a platform covering, but not restricted to, their particular fields of interest and specialization. Such an approach is critical to any expanding field of study, for the development of more informed and broader perspectives, and of more overarching theoretical conceptions.

The series achieves a truly multidisciplinary forum on South Asian history and culture, under which the established (e.g. economic history, politics, gender studies) and more recent disciplines (e.g. minority rights, sexuality studies) will interact and enmesh with each other. A focus will also be to make more mainstream the more recently developed disciplines in the field of South Asian studies, which have to date remained specialized fields, for instance research on film, media, photography, sport, medicine and the environment.

A significant concern for this series is to focus across the region known as South Asia, and not simply on India. This remains a gap in the field of South Asian studies and the editors of this series work to bring into focus more scholarship on and from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and other parts of South Asia.
