Gonu Jha Aan Maithili Chitrakatha and Maithili Chitrakatha

Detailed description

Jha places the two collections beside oral storytelling and the weakening use of Maithili with children. He stresses how words and pictures share narrative work, enabling familiar folk figures to become visible to young readers. His praise rests on accessible language and intergenerational transmission; an editorial note records the article’s later inclusion in his Parijat Manjari.

This is a signed contribution in the volume’s Preeti Thakur and her creative/archival work strand. The page preserves the contributor’s attribution, the normalized chapter identity, the English-edition locator, and the paired Maithili/English repository manifestations so that the critical argument can be read in its book context rather than as an isolated quotation.
