PANCHTANTRA STORIES |
Movies based on PANCHATANTRA and The
Panchatantram is one of the earliest collections of fables, written in India more than two
thousand five hundred years ago. It is known in Europe as the Fables of Bidpai. Some of
the tales in it can be traced as far back as 1500 BC to the ancient Sanskrit text, the Rig
Veda.
The original Panchatantram is in Sanskrit, and has been written in a mixture of prose and
verse. The introduction attributes the work to Vishnu Sharma, a learned Brahmin, who used
these tales to teach the art of kingship and worldly wisdom to the three dull-witted sons
of a king. The work is divided into five parts (hence the name: pancha: five and tantram:
parts), each part dealing with a particular aspect of life and living. Through each part
runs a 'main' story, which contains within it the shorter tales. The introduction acts as
an enclosing frame for the entire work.
Travellers carried the stories to Persia, Arabia, and in the 11th century AD to Greece and
thence to the rest of Europe. Traces of these stories can be found in the fables of La
Fontaine, and in the fairy tales of Grimm. The stories also travelled to Indonesia in both
oral and written forms. In India these stories are still told to children by their parents
and grandparents.
