Registering Resistance Ambiguity of the Native Narratorial Voice and the Colonial Folklorist in Nineteenth Century India

Folk literature has always remained the veritable connection between the reader and the heritage of the land, orally transmitted from one generation to the other. With the advent of the colonisers from Europe came the colonial trappings of hegemonic, patriarchal structure which aimed at the socio economic aggrandizement of the colonising countries at the cost of the colonised ones. They disguised their administrative goals in the borrowed garbs of rationality and knowledge. The proposed paper would try to understand the intentions of the colonisers and analyse the resistance exhibited by the colonised narrators in the domain of folk literature in nineteenth century India.
