Before finalizing the topic of our anthology, we had a big round of discussion regarding the recognition of the topic in modern literary ecosphere. And finally after multiple series of brainstorming, we finally hung to our decision �" let’s launch it!

 

Thanks to our collaborative resolution, we owe to each and every contributing author of this anthology for making the topic such a grand success.
