Pbi V-C Jaspal Singh said that folklore also played a pivotal role in providing a strong base to the revolutionary ideas. He said that the originality of Punjabi folklore must be viewed in global perspective.

He announced that Punjabis should help in organising the World Punjabi conference in April. He also released a book “ Punjabi Stage Kav”. Rajinderpal Singh Brar has written the book.

Noted Punjabi poet Surjit Pattar rated folklore as the fifth “Veda”.

He said that folklore rejuvenates itself with continuous social dialogue and interaction. It also provides a broader base for the growth of human relationships.

Jaswinder Singh said that some aspects and dimensions of Punjabi folklore was changing and vanishing, as a result of the media onslaught and commercial tendencies.
