Digital Literature of Dr Barbara S. Sangma published by Sauramandala Foundation.

Sauramandala Foundation is dedicated to preserving Indigenous culture by reviving forgotten folklores. It's two digital publications of the Garo raillery "Nang•pa Bachi Re•anga?” (in English and Garo languages) was contributed by Dr. Barbara S. Sangma ( Associate Professor, Department of English, Don Bosco College, Tura) who dusted it off almost literally from the hazy memory of childhood. According to her, sing-song games like " Nang•pa Bachi Re•anga?" are precursors to Folk Theatre and should feature in Folklore and Folk Literature.

The sing-song game predates ecological problems that people see today and has been presented by the writer with the intention of portraying children's fun-games of yore.

Appreciation is due to Chedil whose vivid and colourful illustration made the sing-song game come alive.

The book form will be available later.
