(4) Why was it necessary to conserve folk culture?
Answers
Answer:
one of our biggest achievements, according to author and poet Ashok Chakradhar, is technology and how the world is resorting to it during the times of this pandemic. In a session on day two of eSahitya Aaj Tak, the Padma Shri wished everyone on Eid, and spoke about how the lockdown has stirred the artist’s soul and technology has helped accomplish this. "Right now, I am busier than ever. For a teacher, there’s nothing better than being in the company of books. After finding all the comfort of expression, the artist is using technology to make communication possible and accessible. I think, we must add technology experts in the list of Corona warriors as well, since they are actively working day and night to make communication possible. It’s because of this technology that we can come face-to-face with art."
He added that it is important to help our smaller artists — Nautanki singers, Khayal singers, and others — who earn daily wages. He added that helping them right now would, in turn, allow us to preserve our folk culture.
He also said, "I must thank my fellow Indians for actively contributing in these tough times. Also, we all want migrant labourers to reach their homes safely."
