Gender Based Violence in Indian Folklores and Human Dignity

Abstract

   The greatest quality of literature is its fine blending of instruction and amusement. Folklore is marked by this quality. There are four impulses behind the creation of literature. In the first place, man is interested in self expression. Secondly, he has a keen interest in other people and their actions. In the third place ,he is fascinated by the world of reality and imagination. With all these he loves the form as form. Folklore has all these impulses behind it. It emerges from man's interest in self expression. Everyone has  something interesting to say which is of common interest .Several of the tales have their roots in these common truths. The urge to tell something is resistible. 

Keywords- Gender Based Violence, Indian Folklores, Human Dignity, Self Expression.
