He gave me the opportunity to explore and collect rare vernacular materials on Ghatak, without which this article could not be written. Thanks to my supervisor Parichay Patra and other colleagues for their generous engagements. I extend my gratitude to the anonymous reviewers too.Additional informationNotes on contributorsBhairab BarmanBhairab Barman is a doctoral research candidate at the School of Liberal Arts, IIT Jodhpur.
