Manuscripts to be considered for publication should be sent to Dr Rajinder Kumar Dudrah, Department of Drama, School of Music and Drama, University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PL, UK; Email: rajinder.dudrah@manchester.ac.uk or Dr Gita Rajan, Associate Professor of English & Director of Asian Studies Program, Fairfield University, Fairfield, CT 06824, USA; Email: GRajan@mail.fairfield.edu.

Three copies of each manuscript should be submitted as well as a copy on disk. Three sets of photocopies (not glossy reproductions) of suggested illustrations should also be sent to the editor. Manuscripts should be printed on one single side of A4 or 8 x 11 inch white good quality paper, double-spaced throughout with ample margins, and bear the title of the contribution and name(s) of the author(s). The full postal and email addresses of the author who will check proofs and receive correspondence and offprints should also be included. All pages should be numbered. Contributions should not normally be more than 7,000 words in length and should be written in English. They should also include an abstract of 150 words.

South Asian Popular Culture anonymously reviews all articles. The author's name should not appear anywhere on the manuscript itself, however, a detachable sheet with their full name, postal address and email address should be sent with the manuscript. Articles submitted to the Journal should not be under consideration by any other journal.

Book reviews may vary in length from 300 words for a single-title review to 1,500 words for a substantial review essay. Reviewers should follow the guidelines given for papers, except that full bibliographical details for the books reviewed (including price and ISBN) should be given at the beginning of the review. Rejected manuscripts will not normally be returned.

Electronic Submissions. Authors should send the final, revised version of their articles in both hard copy paper and electronic disk forms. It is essential that the hard copy paper version exactly matches the material on disk. Save all files on a standard 3.5 inch high-density disk. We prefer to receive disks in Microsoft Word in a PC format, but can translate from most other common word-processing programs. Please specify which program you have used.

Illustrations and captions to illustrations. Authors must obtain permission to reproduce illustrations when necessary and pay the copyright fees and other costs. The place at which an illustration is to be inserted in the printed text should be indicated clearly on the manuscript with a figure number and caption, e.g. “Insert figure 2 about here”. A separate numbered caption sheet should contain artists name, title, print, process, date and owner. Illustrations should be on a separate sheet and not included in the text.

Notes. Keep textual notes to a minimum, indicate them with superscript numbers, and provide the note text as a list at the end of the article, before the references.
