Specifications for Contributions
Well-written, well-substantiated and well-argued papers in Anthropology, Archaeology, Art, Astronomy, Buddhism, Hinduism, History, Jainism, Linguistics, Literature, Mythology, Philology, Philosophy, Science and Technology, comparisons with other Indo-european branches and any other aspect pertaining to the Vedic Tradition are welcome. The language must be English and the following conditions should be observed:
1. The paper should not exceed 12 pages of A4 size (or 8000 words) but exceptional cases will be given consideration.
2. It should start with an Abstract summarizing the subject-matter.
3. All quotations in languages other than English should be accompanied with an English translation. Obviously, not everyone knows Bengali, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hindi, Italian, Latin, Malayalam, Marathi, Punjabi, Russian, Tamil and so on. As some interested scholars do not know Sanskrit well, citations in Sanskrit should also have translation!
4. All diacritics should be written fully and correctly.
5. Rigvedic citations should have the accent udatta whether in devanagari or in Roman transliteration and the latter should be in italics: e.g. ekam vā idam vi babhūva sarvam ‘the one became variously (vi) all this [creation]. (English translation necessary!)
6. All citations or quotations should have full references. E.g. dhruva, jyotir nihitam dṛśaye kam “a fixed light was implanted for seeing well” RV 6.9.5 -- where we have the source, Book, hymn and stanza. Or: “[Sanskrit] is a language which in most respects is more archaic than any other member of the [Indo-European] family” (Burrow 1973: 34; brackets added) -- where we have original author, year of publication of the work from which comes the quotation, page number and the explanation that the square brackets are inserted by the writer of the article.
7. Explanatory notes should be at the bottom of the page as and where they occur. These should not be used to refer merely to publications or authors; the latter should be given as in 6.
8. A full bibliography at the very end, in this format: Burrow T. 1973 (rev. ed.) The Sanskrit
Language, London, Faber & Faber. Titles of books should be in italics. Titles of articles should be within single quotation marks but the title of the Journal or Book in italics, e.g.:
Leach E, 1990 ‘Aryan invasions over four millennia’ in E Ohnuki- Tierney (ed) Culture through Time Stanford, Stanford University Press (166-177) -- where the last numbers give pages.
9. All papers will be viewed (and vetted) by the Editor(s) and at least one other referee.
10. Tables, photographs, maps and other figures should be placed as near their mention in the document as possible. Please, avoid colour photographs.
11. Articles submitted should be original unpublished works. But revised or enriched forms of older articles (with details of the former publication) may be accepted.
12. Contributions should be sent to the Editors by email: Prof Shashi Tiwari and Prof Ram Nath Jha : shashit_98ATyahoo.com> and rnj12AThotmail.com.Articles should be submitted electronically as PDF and word processor file to either of two editors above.
Colour pictures should be minimum and if ever should be at the end of the papers. Contributors should indicate their email, fax, telephone numbers and postal address. As the article will be refereed, these personal details should appear only on separate title page, and nowhere else in the text, so that anonymity will be ensured. Submission of articles implies permission to the Journal to distribute this in electronic or printed form and be entitled to any remuneration accruing therefrom. But copyright remains with the author who may after six months re-publish the article anywhere with the acknowledgement of its prior appearance in Vedic Venues.
A.The policy of the Journal is to have careful evidence-based approach on all subjects. Writers and peer-reviewers are asked to ensure that all chronologies are well argued and substantiated with data or clearly labelled as speculative. This applies especially to key assumptions like the Aryan Invasion/Immigration Theory c 1500 BCE or the composition of the Rgveda c 1200 BCE. Any chronologies based on such or similar Theories must be justified with evidence and clear arguments and not mere repetition of traditional assumptions.
B. We would like articles on all subjects pertaining to the Vedic Tradition from the §Rgveda to the Puraƒas and modern times.
Contributions are invited especially on the following subjects:
1. History in the Rgveda.
2. Poetic devices, allegory or symbolism in the Rgveda.
3. Philosophical ideas in the Yajurveda (VS or TS) or the Atharvaveda, other than worship and sacrifice.
4. Differences in the language of the RV and AV.
5. Analysis, linguistic and/or philosophical, (of anyone) of the Araṇyakas and Upaniṣads.
6. Geometry in the Brahmaṇas or the Śulbasμutras and its relation to the Mature Harappan urban planning,buildings etc.
7. Reappraisal of the evidences regarding the date of the Mahabharata war and the epic.
8. The astronomical tradition and the four yugas.
9. Literary analysis of (parts of) the Rāmāyaṇa or Kalidasa’s Meghadhūta or Harṣa’s Ratnavali and so on.
10. Early and late material in the Manusmati.
11. The rise of the four āśrama (with reference to P. Olivelle’s 1993 The āśrama system..., NY OUP).
12. Aspects of the theory of Drama and actual dramatic works.
13. The essence of, say, the Sānkhya system or Nyaya or Vaiśeṣika or Mahayana. And so on...
14. Scientific enquiry at different ancient periods; Vedic thought and modern science; etc.
15. Vedic ideas condusive to a healthy life in modern times. Ayurvedic diet etc.
16. Vedic ideas condusive to global peace.
17. The RV and the Sayana hermeneutic tradition.

19. Old and new material in the Purāṇas.
20. Sanskrit today....
21. Relation between Sanskrit and Dravidian.

And so on .... Naturally anthropological, archaeological and comparative (mythology, philology etc.) studies touching on Vedic issues will be welcome. Upon receipt of every contribution, acknowledgement will be sent saying whether it has been accepted, rejected or forwarded to a referee for further appraisal. Only if the referee(s) and editor(s) agree that the paper is suitable, will it be published. In any event, the writer will be notified within three months, and wherever possible recommendations for revision or corrections will be given.
Papers for the next issue must reach the Editors by 30th September 2012.
