Folk music-theatre: Folk cultural practices are shrinking

Folk theatre, puppet shows, Baul songs, narrative folk songs—these were once important means of rural entertainment. Although there are no specific statistics, field data suggests that over the past two decades, regular arrangements of such rural events and performance-based folk cultural festivals have significantly declined. Folk music and folk theatre are now largely confined to special occasions or government patronage.
