The Journal of Indian History, established in 1922, is a landmark publication in the academic study of Indian history. Founded during a period of significant political and social change in India, this journal has played a crucial role in shaping historical scholarship and discourse. Over the decades, it has contributed to the understanding and reinterpretation of India’s past, covering a wide array of topics from ancient to contemporary history. The early 1920s was a time of burgeoning nationalist sentiment in India, and there was a growing need to document and analyse the rich and diverse history of the subcontinent from an Indian perspective. The journal was envisioned as a platform for scholars to publish research that would contribute to a deeper and more nuanced understanding of India’s historical heritage.
