I've been working on how rabies has been historically viewed in colonial-era and pre-independence India, and would like to submit my findings to a journal. I find that there's a lot to be gained from the historical treatment of the disease in the country. However, I've never written such a piece before, and haven't exactly read many similar articles myself, so I'm not sure which journal I should approach (without having to learn things the hard way).
Hi, I am planning to bring out an edited volume on New Themes in Modern Indian History. Interested scholars may contribute for the same. I shall be contributing from my own area of research viz. Social History of Health and Medicine. You may contact me on my email id [email protected] with your idea and innovative theme (if possible along with an abstract) following which you will be requested to submit full length paper on requisite format. Hoping for a wonderful collaborative experience. Thanks.
Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences. There are others too:

Look the several tables of contents to get a rough ideas of frquently/infrequently they publish historical pieces. Infectious disease journals.
The Bulletin of the History of Medicine published by the Johns Hopkins University could be your best choice.
I am one of the editors of "Tropical Medicine & International Health". If your manuscript is in a review format you are invited to send it to me before official submission; I will be happy to assess opportunities to publish it in our journal or advise you on other possibilities. Your manuscript would be evaluated by one of our Associate Editors (he is Indian) and by myself.
Thanks for the really helpful feedback everyone, especially the link to Durham's webpage, that was especially insightful! And thank you also for the invitation to submit, I wasn't expecting that :)
