                 According to Bharat’s Natyashastra (7/83), insanity sentiment is demonstrated by laughing, weeping, crying, irrelevant talk, lying down, sitting and engaging in such other abnormal activities.

            I remember a folk drama played by us at our teen age around 1968-69 in Nau forest hill, Village Jaspur, Malla Dhangu, Pauri Garhwal (UK) while grazing the cattle.

           One of a boys Shatrughna Prasad Jakhmola played the role of a person who was affected very badly (Bhut Lagana) by evil soul. As soon as Shatrughna was affected by Bhut (evil soul) he started jumping and sitting, lying down. He was crying, was suddenly became silence and talking irrelevantly.

             I also remember a folk drama played by Badis in Mitragram village, Malla Dhangu, Pauri Garhwal. There was scene of theft of jewelry from a poor farmer. The Badi who was performing the role of poor fellow was acting as if the man becomes mad. He was crying, laughing and running here and there.
