About the Journal

The Proceedings of the Deccan History Congress is an annual, peer-reviewed research journal (ISSN 3108-1649) published by the Deccan History Congress, a component of the Asiatic Society for Social Science Research. The journal serves as a scholarly platform for the dissemination of original research on the history, culture, and archaeology of the Deccan region, broadly conceived from ancient to contemporary times.

The journal publishes selected research papers presented at the annual academic session of the Deccan History Congress held in the preceding year. Only papers formally presented during the session and recommended by the respective Sectional Presidents are eligible for consideration. All such papers undergo a rigorous process of scrutiny by subject experts, followed by evaluation by the Peer Review Committee and the Editorial Board, ensuring academic quality, originality, and methodological rigor.

The scope of the journal is interdisciplinary and inclusive, covering ancient, medieval, modern, regional, and contemporary history of the Deccan; archaeology; political, social, cultural, and economic history; colonial encounters; literature and art history; and related themes. In addition to research articles, the volume also includes presidential addresses that engage with broader historiographical debates and interpretative frameworks.

By presenting a representative cross-section of current research trends, The Proceedings of the Deccan History Congress aims to promote critical scholarship and advance historical understanding of the Deccan in all its regional and thematic diversity.
