In fact, the Folk Dance-Songs offer a window to peep into the world of the Santals, their lives, customs, traditions religions and philosophy. It has been observed that these dance-songs have escaped the overpowering drive to ‘civilize’ them, be it in the pre-colonial, colonial times or thereafter and thus exist in their natural forms. This is, however, not to suggest that the Santali dance-songs have remained static in their pristine forms, it is a fact that gradual changes have crept into their forms, but not to the extent to alter their soul and spirit. All these factors make the Santali dance-songs worthy of documentation to understand the Santali cultural reality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kalpaz Publications","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46195160055959,"sku":"9789353240905","price":315.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789353240905.webp?v=1769299974","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/santal-folk-dance-songs-contextualizing-art-culture-9789353240905","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
