Attempt a critical note on the introduction of folklore studies as an academic discipline in India.

Folklore is also an academic discipline whose subject matter (also called folklore) comprises the sum total of traditionally derived and orally or imitatively transmitted literature, material culture, and customs. The insights from this discipline have been so far neglected.

The economics on the cultural determinants of growth starting with Landes (1998) have placed a great emphasis on the importance of culture for determining contemporary economic and political outcomes. To overcome the issue of endogeneity, very promising instrumental variable strategies have been devised linking historical accidents and geographic endowments to contemporary beliefs and attitudes, often looking at individuals no longer living in their ancestral homelands (following the epidemiological approach of Fernandez (2011)). Nevertheless, there has been a missing element in this literature. Namely, the absence of historical proxies of beliefs has severely hindered the debate about the persistence of cultural traits. In this study we propose a way to close this gap by integrating folklore into our toolset. SpeciÖcally, we do ____ ___ __________ _______ ________ ____ __________ _____.
