About The Journal
The purpose in launching the journal Points of View in year 1994 was to bring to light quality research work in literature in English and make it easily accessible to the academic world, for literary journals were not as common in India then as they are today.
Now this biannual journal is converted into an e-journal with open access to all in the belief that literature, theatre, cinema, etc. shape and transform the individual and society for the better.
