Panjab University Research Journal (Arts) PURJA, earlier known as Panjab University Research Bulletin (Arts) PURBA, is the mother journal of Panjab University, Chandigarh (India), started in early 1950s. It is a bi-annual journal of international repute and only publishes research papers/articles/reviews/survey papers, duly assessed and reviewed by a panel of experts. It is exclusively devoted to the publication of original research papers/articles/reviews of a very high standard in various disciplines of humanities, languages and arts. One of the objectives of this journal is to create a forum for the transmission and exchange of ideas among the scholars within the country and outside. Though most of the time, the journal focusses upon the theoretical issues of wider contemporary relevance in the specified areas, occasionally, it also announces special issues drawing attention toward well-defined thematic areas in humanities, languages and arts in general. This journal seeks to propagate and stimulate philosophical, critical and interpretative dialogue across the national and international frontiers. For this reason, we look forward to receiving contributions from scholars working in diverse areas covered broadly under the disciplines of humanities, languages and arts.
