“Culture flows through many generations and is reflected in songs, rituals, expressions, symbols, signs and festivals. Hence they should not only rejoice but try to learn and preserve their culture. Folk songs are the biggest carrier of culture, and the culture has been greatly preserved by women of the house through folk songs It would not be wrong to say that the mainstream traditions of culture have flowed most through women.”—- Malini Awasthi.
