Buddhadeb Guhar Koekti Uponyase Lok Upadaner Anusanga/ বুদ্ধদেব গুহ-র কয়েকটি উপন্যাসে লোক উপাদানের অনুষঙ্গ

Abstract

The customs, principles, reforms and belief of a folk society form a part of the folk element. Buddhadeb Guha has brought various references to folk elements in his writings. Buddhadeb Guha, fascinated by the magical beauty of nature, has repeatedly travelled to different parts of India. Just as he witnessed the joys and sorrows and lifestyles of the deprived and oppressed people of those regions, he also felt with his heart the folk beliefs, tradition, and culture of the indigenous people accustomed to living a forest life. Buddhadeb Guha has depicted in his novels the unique lifestyles, customs, beliefs, traditions and culture of people living far from the complexities of modern life. One can learn about the people of Bihar, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh etc. and their lifestyles by reading Buddhadeb Guha's novels. The folk culture of Bengal is based on the customs and beliefs of the rural indigenous people. Buddhadeb Guha, in his novel, introduces us to the lost folk traditions and culture by highlighting folk elements such as folk beliefs, folk deities, folk songs, folk dances and folk tales. Reading his novels, one can discover folk elements derived from the daily lives of marginalized indigenous people. Buddhadeb Guha's novels have taken on a different dimension in their depiction of both elements. While roaming around different parts of India on the pretext of hunting, he collected various folk elements and delineated those elements with utmost compassion in his novels, Buddhadeb Guha, who had diverse experiences, witnessed the lives of different communities and incorporated their life stories and folk elements into his novels. These folk elements sometimes appear in the form of songs and sometimes in the form of rhymes and proverbs. Because of his unwavering attraction to folk elements, Buddhadeb Guha's novels have become unique in their fascination with folk beliefs and folk culture.
