Studies in Nepali History and Society is one of the finer journals in the social sciences to be published in the region, and easily compares with some of the best from Europe and North America in terms of content and editorial rigour. For those who are interested in Nepali studies, it is a welcome entry because it has vision, as well as a sense of discipline. It speaks in a language that the North would do well to understand, though the cost may be a little prohibitive for most Nepali scholars of Nepal and elsewhere.
