Editorial

This will be my last editorial. I have been Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of Asian Agri-History Journal for more than five years. Being Editor-in-Chief of AAH Journal gave me the opportunity to review and/or read all the papers submitted, and that enlarged my horizons and knowledge about Asian Agri-History. I have started giving lectures in schools, colleges and other events not just about Agri-history, but also of the knowledge that ancient Indian scientists and philosophers gave to the world at large in astronomy, mathematics, chemistry, metallurgy and medical sciences. The Trustees have nominated Dr RP Thakur, whom I have known for more than four decades, as the next EiC (see page ii for details). I am confident that he will effectively carry forward the duties as EiC for the journal.
