Question

Write a very short note on Anandamath and Tamil Folk Tales

Answer 1

Answer:

India is rich in folk tales with each region having its own treasure trove, though boundaries can blur and coalesce. These tales, rooted in the life of the common people, have been handed down through the oral tradition. They have served as a source of instruction and the chief means of entertainment through the centuries. Modernity and the advent of electronic media have impacted folklore, and it is in danger of fading out, unless committed to print or audio documentation.

This book is a translation of selected tales from Naatuppura kathai kalanjiyam, a collection of stories gathered from all over Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry by a committed team on the initiative of Aaru Ramanathan of the Tamil University, Thanjavur.
