520 |a More than three years in the making, this book is an omnibus of sorts, attempting to chart folktales and modern lore from the twenty-eight states and eight union territories of India, differentiated on the basis of linguistic identity. Consisting of a hundred and eight stories, including an introduction that attempts to reassess the present genres of Indian folklore, this edited book - a humongous task, portrays heterogeneity as a leitmotif. While the idea of regional-linguistic representation through a small number of folk stories from each linguistic zone may seem limited at first, one must, after all be philosophical, when dealing with a culture expanse as wide and historically complex as India. The book was also, unfortunately, subject to word limitation. Remaining mindful of such limitations already in place, three stories were chosen from every vernacular identity, covering the states and union territories of India, aided in this decision-making task by the last Census report of the Government of India in 2011.
