Abstract:

In this analytical study, intricate relationships among Indsystem (IKS) along with Assamese folk literature focus on how traditional narratives serve as vessels of indigenous wisdom, cultural values, as well as societal norms. Assamese folk literature filled with rich oral traditional compositions consisting of various genres such as sadhukatha or folk tale, proverbs and lokgeet i.e. folk songs which are reflections of the beliefs, customs as well as ethical background of community. Through this study, an attempt is made to perpetuate as well as embody the Indian Knowledge System which has been wrapped up in Assamese folk literature.
