प्रश्न
What is the central argument of the speaker?
उत्तर
The author G.N. Devy, through his essay ‘Tribal Verse’ attempts to familiarise people with some aspects of the enormous wealth of oral tribal literature. It begins with an extract from an essay by G.N. Devy in which he discusses the need to create a space for the study of tribal literature within the framework of canonized written texts. He argues for a new method to identify and read literature in which orality is not dismissed as casual utterances in different dialects.
