Aims and Scope of the Proceedings of the Indian History Congress

Proceedings of the Indian History Congress is the official journal of the Indian History Congress (IHC), the largest professional body of historians in South Asia. The journal publishes original research papers, which are selected from the papers presented at the Congress’s annual sessions.

The papers published in the Proceedings undergo both single peer review (by the Sectional Presidents elected for a session in the respective fields) and blind peer review (by the Editorial Board). It encompasses a wide chronological span from ancient to modern times and diverse methodological approaches. Contributions reflect the thematic richness of the Congress’s sections: Ancient India, Medieval India, Modern India, Countries Other Than India, Archaeology, and Contemporary India.

We aim to foster critical historical inquiry that is empirically grounded and theoretically informed. The journal encourages engagement with archival materials, regional histories, archaeological explorations, interdisciplinary perspectives, and comparative frameworks. We are especially committed to representing the plurality of voices and perspectives in historical research.

Papers published in the Proceedings are intended for scholars, researchers, educators, and students of history, as well as allied disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
