Bharatada Vaividhyamaya Janapada Kathegalu / ಭಾರತದ ವೈವಿಧ್ಯಮಯ ಜಾನಪದ ಕಥೆಗಳು

<p>This is an anthology of folktales of different states and dialects of India. Though Indian culture is the same all over there are many interesting regional varieties and folktales are very helpful to know them. Moreover these folktales are of various types like tales of fantasy fun animals and birds moral righteousness intelligence and cleverness riddles reasons fools kings and queens princes and princesseslove villagers demons magic and witchcraft tricksters and so on. Many stories are almost similar in many regions with slight differences. The reason for this is that travelers would have spread such stories during their travel from one place to another. Thus having spread from mouth to mouth orally these folktales are on the verge of declining these days. Hence such collections are required.</p>
