My present paper deals with folk theatre form Swaang. Swaang is one of the very famous forms of folk opera in North India. Swaang is known by various names in the different states of India. The beginning of 20th century proved to be the Shakespearean age of Haryanavi folk opera swaang. The folk cultural form, swaang, which is representative of Haryanavi folk culture, is in a deteriorating or decaying position. I have tried my best to bring to light the cultural value of this theatre form and all causes for this decaying condition of folk opera Swaang.

Swaang, opera, culture, folk theatre, natya vida, heritage, tradition, Haryanavi, Shakespearean, consumerist, materialist.
