With Pandit Ram Gharib Chaube, he recorded and published, over a period of six years, a remarkable collection of folktales from northern India. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe tales reflect the tapestry of social and personal lives of this region, the epicenter of a revolt against British rule in 1857. Although many of the tales were published in British ethnographic journals, a number of the manuscripts, in Chaube's handwriting, were unpublished; others existed only as old microfilm in a New Delhi library. Never before have they appeared as a single volume or been available in any one library or archive.","brand":"ABC-CLIO","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45083764883607,"sku":"9781576076989","price":5464.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781576076989.webp?v=1767264081","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/folktales-from-northern-india-9781576076989","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
