We are very thankful for the kind donation of the J.P. and Beena Khaitan Fellowship. The fellowship has been an important contribution to the field of Hindu Studies and a substantial start to scholars who are opening up the field to the world. The J.P. and Beena Khaitan Fellows have produced an impressive outcome of books, lectures, seminars, etc. impacting the field and continuing to inspire young scholars.
