On one level, it focuses on readership and contributions from the scholars of South Asian countries (SAARC countries) and on the other it will appeal to scholars beyond South Asia who exhibit intellectual interest in the discourses on and from South Asia. The journal publishes contributions, which partake in the larger ‘sociological’ discourse. Though the journal reflects interest in the formation and articulation of culture, articles which are based on the practical dimension of skills of producers of art will not be solicited. Instead, the journal will publish discussions on artistic features based on series of photographs/other visual artworks /theatre performances and so on which reflect ongoing sociological debates focused on the wider domains of society and culture. The journal will carry the following kinds of texts subject to the word limits identified within brackets: review essays and research papers (5000-8000 words); review articles (1000 words), opinions/debates (2000 words) and a photo-essay (visual-anthropological account subject to a maximum of 12 photos in colour or black and white preceded by brief contextualization (600 words).
