Solution
The correct option is D Natesa Sastri
During the nineteenth century, many nationalists felt that the idea of nationalism could be spread through the revival of Indian folklore. As a result, they started to record and collect the folk tales sung by bards. They also toured different villages and gathered folk songs and legends. In Bengal, Rabindranath Tagore led the movement for folklore revival. He collected ballads, nursery rhymes, and myths. In Madras, Natesa Sastri played an important role in the movement. He published a colossal four-volume collection of Tamil folk tales called “The Folklore of Southern India”.
