Call for Papers: 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi

Celebrating 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi

Call for Papers
Respected Faculty/Scholar, 
The year-long celebration to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi begun from 2nd October, 2018 in India and all over the world. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, more commonly known as ‘Mahatma’ (meaning ‘Great Soul’) was born in Porbandar, Gujarat, in North West India, on 2nd October 1869, into a Hindu Modh family. He was the primary leader of India’s independence movement and also the architect of a form of non-violent civil disobedience that would influence the world. Gandhi's life and teachings have inspired many liberationists of the 20th Century, including Dr. Martin Luther King in the United States, Nelson Mandela and Steve Biko in South Africa, and Aung San Suu Kyi in Myanmar. The Centre has also an intention to commemorate the 150th Birth Anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi by various activities including essay competition, seminar, special issues and books on this great thinker. I would like to invite all academicians from all disciplines to contribute research papers and articles for our following special issues:
  • Lokāyata: Journal of Positive Philosophy (ISSN 2249-8389), Vol.XI (01-02), September, 2019 : Theme- The Philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi
  • Milestone Education Review (The Journal of Ideas on Educational & Social Transformation) (ISSN: 2278-2168), Year 10 (01-02), October 2019 :  Theme- Socio-Political Philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar

Format of Submission: The paper should be typewritten preferably in Times New Roman with 12 font size (English) and Kruti Dev (10) with 14 font size (Hindi) in MS-Word 2003 to 2010  and between 2500 to 3000 words. They should be typed on one side of the paper, double spaced with ample margins. The authors should submit the hard copy along with a CD and a copyright form to be sent to the editorial address. 
Originality of Work:  Only papers which have not been published elsewhere will be considered. Proofs will be sent to the authors if there is sufficient time to do so. An undertaking via  a “Forwarding Letter”  be submitted alongwith the paper.
Reference Style: Notes and references should appear at the end of the research paper/chapter. Citations in the text and references must correspond to each other; do not over reference by giving the obvious/old classic studies or the irrelevant.  CPPIS follows The Chicago Manual of Style, 16th Edition. The Chicago Manual of Style presents two basic documentation systems: (1) notes and bibliography and (2) author-date. Choosing between the two often depends on subject matter and the nature of sources cited, as each system is favored by different groups of scholars. The notes and bibliography style is preferred by many in the humanities. The author-date system has long been used by those in the physical, natural, and social sciences. CPPIS follows the first system i.e. Notes and Bibliography. For detail information downloads our "CPPIS Manual for Contributors and Reviewers" from below given link:
