Lakshminath Bezbaruah, the pioneer of Assamese literature contributed to the nation‟s identity assertion by serving to both Assamese language and literature. He collected and used folktales as tool to rejuvenate the national identity of Assam in the period of identity crisis. He endeavored to collect folktales as a project to preserve the culture to re establish the Assamese identity. In the prefatory note of his celebrated folktale collection Burhi Air Sadhu he described folktale as the „biography‟ of the community because it preserves in it the world view of the concerned community in the form of its culture and tradition.
