Detailed Solution

The statement mentioned above is true.
Nationalism started boosting the freedom struggle of Indians through different cultural mediums, which created a sense of collective belonging among the people in India. Hence folklore, popular imprints, symbols, and flags were all part of the recollection of patriotism and nationalism. Folklore was usually songs of bravery or stories in regional languages, which the locals sang, instilled a sense of nationalism, and inspired the next generation. Thus Rabindranath started collecting ballads, myths and rhymes, leading to folk revival. Moreover, the image of Bharat Mata by Abanindranath Tagore and Vande Mataram, penned by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay in his book Anandamath, all helped in the growth of nationalist sentiments among Indians.
