Abstract:
The paper attempts to study a Rajasthani folktale A Hound’s Pride by Vijaydan Detha as an allegorical-folk literary expression. The themes and plot are parallel to George Orwell’s Animal Farm. The devices of anthropomorphism and symbolism are efficiently applied to portray the paradoxes of revolution and autocracy.
