Synopsis

The development of history as the written discourse came into existence for displaying history of man and his origin as home sapiens. Anthropologically, the incidents and events in the past were interpreted through myths, folk tales and the oral tradition. The development of nature and the development of history remain side by side and there is also a close relationship between nature and folklore. In India there one hardly sees the annals and the chronological arrangement of history except the tradition which existed and exists in the folk-memory of the people enmasse; History is not cyclic but predominantly linear while folk-memory is cyclic and dynamic. Karnad uses the sources of history and folklore in his plays just to reveal the sociocentric matrixes an its impact on human relationships.
