Bhopal

"Former Prime Minister (AB Vajpayee) has always stressed on conducting research in folk music, folk literature and folk language and it should be done as people of the country even today have kept alive Ram and Sita, Shiv and Parvati in folk literature," Goa Governor said addressing a function here yesterday.

Sinha, who herself is an acclaimed writer arrived here yesterday to inaugurate a two-day long national seminar "Lok Sahitya Me Gyan Parampara" at Atal Bihari Vajpayee Hindi Viswa Vidyalaya (ABHVV) established with a mandate to promote Hindi language in the country.

Referring to popular Chhath festival of Bihar, Sinha said that it unites people with the nature as it is a creation of nature and people worshipped Sun god in it.

Sinha who has penned a book, "Bihar Ki Lok Kathayen" said that basic thinking by any person is being done in his folk language.

Referring to Goa, the Governor said that people have wrong impression about that state as its folk culture is very rich and different citizens worshipping in different ways there still live in a joint family system.

The Goa Governor on the occasion also inaugurated Nakshatra Vatika and Panchkarm Kendra in the university premises.

The seminar was also addressed by Madhya Pradesh Health Minister, Narottam Mishra and the ABVHVV Vice Chancellor, Prof. Mohanlal Cheepa among others.
