- Synopsis
- This anthology of Garo literature contains songs, folktales, ritual chants, traditional oral poetry, songs about country life, samples of written poetry and a play. The contents have been carefully chosen to give an idea about the oral traditions of the Garos as well as their written literature which emerged a little over a hundred years ago. I must hasten to add that not all the material selected, especially from the traditional oral literature, is necessarily the best and the most representative; because my selection was based on considerations of quality as well as translatability. Many traditional poems and songs are untranslatable due to the lack of equivalent words in English. Besides, some key words have gone out of use, and their meanings are uncertain.
