The above statement is true.
Natesa Shastri published the Folklore of Southern India in Madras, " a massive four-volume compilation of Tamil folk stories. Folklore was national literature; it was "the most reliable expression of people's true thoughts and qualities". Nationalists began recording folk stories sung by bards in the late 1800s.
