Gandhi Marg is published from New Delhi in the months of June, September, December and March every year. Original contributions on themes of national and international importance falling under the broad area of Gandhian Studies are invited from scholars and practitioners. Articles published in Gandhi Marg are refereed. It is presumed that an article submitted to Gandhi Marg is original, and has not been under the consideration of any another journal. In general, the articles should not exceed 8000 words including notes and references. Periodically, we also bring out special issues on selected themes. Shorter articles are carried in the section on notes and comments. Decisions on manuscripts will be made within three months. No fees are charged for submission or publication in this journal.
