Explanation:

Ideas of nationalism also developed through a movement to revive

Indian folklore. In late-nineteenth-century India, nationalists began

recording folk tales sung by bards and they toured villages to gather

folk songs and legends. These tales, they believed, gave a true picture

of traditional culture that had been corrupted and damaged by

outside forces. It was essential to preserve this folk tradition in

order to discover one’s national identity and restore a sense of pride

in one’s past. In Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore himself began collecting

ballads, nursery rhymes and myths, and led the movement for folk revival. In Madras, Natesa Sastri published a massive four-volume

collection of Tamil folk tales, The Folklore of Southern India. He believed

that folklore was national literature; it was ‘the most trustworthy

manifestation of people’s real thoughts and characteristics'.

Explanation:

Fictions and history, songs and folklore, symbols and popular prints played a significant role in the nationalist struggle of India.

1. It was during the latter half of the nineteenth century that the Indian political leaders began recording folk stories sung by minstrels, and they traveled communities to assemble folk songs and sagas.

2. This was executed to enhance the traditional experience that had been abused, and destroyed by western dominance.

3. To restore the folklore, Rabindranath Tagore accumulated ballads, nursery poetry and stories, and began the movement for the folk revival.
