Indian Anthropologist generally does not accept unsolicited reviews. Those willing to do reviews should write to the editor. We encourage shorter notes on research in progress or short contributions on topics of current social, political, and economic developments. Comments or rejoinders on articles published in the journal will also be considered. These should not be more than 1000-2000 words. Indian Anthropologist serves as a platform for dissemination of information among community of scholars concerned with bio-cultural aspects of human existence. You may send announcements and short reports on events such as workshops or conferences organized in India on issues of anthropological relevance. These will also be reviewed for significance and style.
