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.

A unique heritage walk on statues by Mr. Sandeep Dahisarkar, Indologist and Art Historian, deals with the tradition of memorial sculpture in the erstwhile Bombay city. This walk focuses on the Indian personalities immortalised in marble and bronze, remembered for their outstanding contribution towards shaping the island city. The walk also introduces the forgotten Indian Sculptors from the Bombay school of Art whose position was elevated as master artists in this colonial city.

The Definitive Food Walk of Fort
The aim of this walk is to try and highlight how the identity of the Parsis, Gujaratis, Marwadis, Anglo-Indians, Sindhis, etc. is reflected in this locality through its food. It will trace the culinary evolution of the place from its oldest surviving eateries to the newer food joints. At the end it will also bring to light that how the culinary heritage of a city shapes its history and vice versa.
