520 |a Rajasthan is home to rich traditions of folklore where folklorist Vijaydan Detha (1926-2013) has made the most significant contribution to its documentation over time. Born in a family which historically consisted of geneologists, Vijaydan Detha or "Bijji" as he is affectionately called has documented more than eight hundred tales in Rajasthani language and received several awards for writing folktales originating in the Thar Desert region of Rajasthan. There have been many film and theatre adaptations of the tales he collected, which have also been translated into English, securing him an international audience that has enjoyed his unique colloquial style. This paper examines two among Vijaydan Detha's valuable folktale renditions, wherein he provides space to female narratives to explore gender. Additionally, this paper will demonstrate how these gender concerns of the narrative, continue to resonate with contemporary readers. The paper will further attempt to establish how class dynamics and caste hierarchy in rural India, especially Rajasthan become contexts for the sexual exploitation of women. Detha exposes duality within established social order, and through his tales, questions the social sanction and sexual agency that the marriage institution bestows on women.,
