Release of ASM Journal Volume 91

We are happy to share with you that on 25^th November 2023, on the occasion of the Foundation Day of the Asiatic, the Society has released Volume 91 of the ASM Journal. It has come to the Society's notice that some unscrupulous elements are collecting money for publishing papers in the Society's Journal and offering bogus certificates. The Asiatic Society does not collect money for publishing in its journal, nor does it guarantee publication, and neither does it issue any certificate. Authors must verify with the Society before submitting any papers, and papers will be published only after rigorous peer review and editing. The Society does not take responsibility for any payments made to third parties claiming to represent the Society, or for their papers appearing in a cloned/spam journal. Ours is a print-only journal.

On behalf of the Trustees, the members of the Asiatic Society of Mumbai, and the Staff, the Managing Committee expresses its sincere condolences on the demise of the Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Shri Eknath Atmaram Kshirsagar. Shri Kshirsagar made a long and productive set of contributions to the Asiatic Society for over two decades, in particular as Vice President (2003- 2007) working with the former President, Shri B G Deshmukh. He played a significant role in the Bi centennial celebrations. He cared deeply about building the institutional strength of the Asiatic Society. A thoughtful and wise Chairman, he guided us through challenging times during Covid and beyond. We sincerely appreciate his commitment and service and are grateful for his leadership. We extend our deepest condolences to his wife and family.
