Abstract :
Folklore generally refers to the traditions which may include the music, storytelling, popular beliefs and customs practice of a community. These practices have achieved heritage status which needs legal protection. Nevertheless, the protection provided in the existing laws is not without flaws. The ambiguity of certain terminologies and the strict interpretation of legal terms have created hurdle in giving adequate protection to such works. This article aims at highlighting the problem of definition and scope of intangible heritage with special reference to folklore
