₹ 2395.00
Pastoralist traditions have long been extraordinarily important to the social, economic, political and cultural life of the Maharashtra region in western India. The oral literature of the Marathi-speaking Dhangar shepherds of Maharashtra is not only an important element of the traditional cultural life of the region, but also a treasure of world literature. This volume presents translations of two lively and well-crafted examples of the ovi, a genre typical of the oral literature of the Dhangars.
