Boro Jatragaan and Its emergence in Boro Society
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: ‘Jatra Gaan’ is a strong medium of entertainment and education. When the Boro society was in deep slumber and exploited, the young educated section of the society, leaders took the initiative to write drama through which they can educate the illiterate section of people through entertainment to reform and unite the Boro Society. And this was possible through organization and magazines through which one can express their personal feelings, desires, hope to spread the awareness. The Jatra Gaan was most popular entertainment since 1919 to 1970s led by some Jatra Ostads. The episode of Boro Jatra Gaan are threatened to be extinguished without leaving the old dramatical works in printed form. The search of old ‘Palla’s and preservation of these through giving printed form have proved arduous and well-nigh impossible.
