While Tiwari talked about the rich tradition of folk culture, vice President Chandrashekhar Kambar noted how researchers are causing a “crisis to folk traditions”.
“Only during this century the folk tradition is facing a crisis which is threatening its continuity, the crisis is not due to industrialisation, or growth of mass media. The folk tradition can survive all these changes. The crisis is in another form that is of self consciousness of the researcher,” Kambar said.
