JAMMU, Dec 18: A symposium on Literary Elements in Dogri Folk Literature was organized by Sahitya Akademi New Delhi at Govt. Degree College Majalta, Dist. Udhampur, J&K in collaboration with the said Degree College.
The daylong symposium was presided over by an eminent Dogri author and Dogri Folk Lierature Expert, Prakash Premi with Dr. B.B.Anand, Principal Degree College Majalta as Chief Guest at the inaugural session. Key note address was delivered by Dr. Gian Singh, a Folklorist and Dogri Advisory Board Member.
The inaugural address was delivered by Darshan Darshi (D.K.Vaid), Convener Dogri Advisory Board of Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi. He also welcomed the participants and eminent writers present in the function along with faculty and students of the college. It is very interesting and engaging to see that Dogri folklore which generally like all other Lok Sahitya, is attributed to unlettered rural folks for its often impromptu creation and propagation only by mouth, does reflect immense literary richness and depth and exhibits many of those literary devices which were coined much later by the protagonists of written literature, he said. He also hoped that the symposium would generate a new interest among the college goers to understand the potential and importance of Dogri folklore in their wider understanding and learning of Dogri language and literature. Inaugural session was concluded with vote of thanks by Dr. Suresh Sharma, Asstt. Professor Dogri.
The first paper reading session was devoted to subjects; Literary Elements in Dogri Folk Songs and Literary Elements in Dogri Proverbs & Idioms (Kahabtaan aur Muhabaray). Well researched papers on the two topics were read out respectively by Jagdeep Dubey and Yash Pal Nirmal and the speakers aroused lot of interest amongst the audience.
