A Clarification
This is to state that Ms. Neethu S Nair (Research Scholar, Dept. of English, Anna University) and Dr. Deepa Mary Francis (Assistant Professor, Dept. of English, Anna University) had written a research paper titled: “Exploring Madness as a Manifestation of Psychological Trauma: An Analysis of Vishal Bharadwaj’s Haider” which was subsequently published in the current issue (Volume number XI and Issue number I) of Drishti:the Sight. In this regard, it is clarified that the article got published without the printing of the name of Dr. Deepa Mary Francis (Assistant Professor, Dept. of English, Anna University) along with that of the other author: Ms. Neethu S Nair (Research Scholar, Dept. of English, Anna University) and that on behalf of the Editorial body of this journal, as the Chief Editor, I own the responsibility of this editorial lapse. I, therefore, in regretting over such an error, make it known to all concerned that Dr. Deepa Mary Francis (Assistant Professor, Dept. of English, Anna University) is the co-author of the article: “Exploring Madness as a Manifestation of Psychological Trauma: An Analysis of Vishal Bharadwaj’s Haider”.
