EDITORIAL

We are happy to bring out this thirteenth volume of the Departmental journal, Journal of Political Studies. We apologise for the delay in bringing out this volume but hope to have wider readership nevertheless. The diversity of the themes is a distinctive aspect of this volume, so is the coming together of scholars and researchers.

We are not satisfied with the copy editing however as the publication could not be delayed any further.

Hope this issue will reflect the current state of interdisciplinary research.
