2. Contributors must provide their affiliations and complete postal and e-mail addresses with their papers.
3. All articles must be accompanied by an abstract of 150-200 words. Notes should be numbered serially and presented at the end of the article. Notes, other than website sources, must contain more than a mere reference.
4. British spellings throughout; universal 'z' in '-ize' and '-ization' words.
5. Single quotes throughout. Double quotes within single quotes. Spellings of words in quotations should not be changed. Quotations of 45 words or more should be separated from the text and indented with one space with a line space above and below.
6. Use 'twentieth century', '1990s'. Spell out numbers from one to ninety-nine, 100 and above to remain in figures. However, for exact measurements use only figures (3 km, 9 per cent not %). Use thousands and millions, not lakhs and crores.
7. Use of italics and diacriticals should be minimised, but consistent.
8. Tables and figures should be indicated by number separately (see Table 1), not by placement (see Table below). Present each table and figure on a separate sheet of paper, gathering them together at the end of the article.

A consolidated alphabetical list of all books, articles, essays, theses and documents referred to (including any referred to in the tables, graphs and maps) should be provided at the end of the article. All articles, books and theses should be listed in alphabetical order of author, giving the author's surname first followed by first name. If more than one publication by the same author is listed, the items should be given in chronological order. References should be embedded in text in the anthropological style. For example: '(Sarkar 1987: 145)'. Citations should be first alphabetical and then chronological, for example, '(Ahmed 1987; New York Times 2005; Sarkar 1987; Wignaraja 1960)'.
