Literary forum Phulwari Mein Charcha—hosted by former director general of police Anil Raturi and former chief secretary Radha Raturi marked its 25th session on the weekend with a discussion on a special edition of Navodit Pravah magazine devoted to folk culture across India.
Twelve writers—whose articles appeared in the magazine—spoke for three minutes each. They came from different regions- Kumaon, Garhwal, Jaunsar, Jharkhand and Punjab. Each shared insights into their local folk traditions. Anil Raturi, educationalists Sudharini Pandey, Ram Vinay Singh and Navodit Pravan editor Rajneesh Trivedi debated what folk culture actually means. Raturi said, “Geography and the struggle of living shape generations. Culture is born from the inseparable bond between humans and nature”.
