The Indian History and Culture Society was formed in 1978 and it is functioning since then from the premises of the Indian Archaeological Society, B-17, Qutab Institutional Area, New Delhi-16. The Society launched a journal of its own called HISTORY TODAY, the first number of which was published in the year 2000. Since then it is regularly published once every year and released in the month of Nov-Dec at the time of its annual conference.

     The History Today is not based on any particular line of thought or bias. The vision of this journal had in fact emerged after long deliberations amongst the founding-fathers of the Indian History and Culture Society. It is an organisation of well meaning people who want to study and understand human history with the vision of a true historian. History is neither just a dead account of the past, nor an account of political events, kings and lords but one can listen the throbbing of people's heart in it. One should try to listen to those throbs, thrills, tension, challenges, achievements and performances through the sources of history. History resides in literature, manuscripts, archaeological remains, buildings and folklore, keeping in view the conditions and environment.

     Our endeavour is to provide a forum to historians and scholars to express their views and perceptions freely and fearlessly against all misleading, distorted and personal opinions which are very often passed on to unsuspected readership of this country as true history. We call upon every one to adhere to the rigours of our discipline in order to earn respect from our colleagues in particular and public in general. Ours is a very sacred and responsible duty because distorted history can kill a society, culture, nation and immensly harm its existence.

     The Society has also published two books by Prof. R. Nath, namely, Mughal Inlay Art and Indigenous Characteristics of Mughal Architecture
