                  According to Bharat’ Natyashastra (7/80), violence sentiment is shown in acting killing, arresting, beating and rebuking.

  Usually, violence sentiment is generated in drama when somebody deceives, does crime, tells lie that is harmful, and the person wishes to correct the person or wants to rebuke.                 

               There many religious ritual folk songs (Jagar) where in the sentiment of violence is shown effectively. The violence sentiment is found in Jagar of Ranraut, Kaintura, Hari Hindwan , Abhimanyu Baja, Bhim Baja etc .

  The drama ‘Kamalvyuha or Jayadrath Vadh’ based on folk drama created by Dr. D.R. Purohit; R. Bhatt team has violence sentiment in a couple of scene. One scene is best example of violence, when Arjun comes to know that Kaurava killed his son Abhimanyu and Jaydratha pushed dead body of Abhimanyu by foot, Arjun took a vow to kill Jayadratha before sun set.

In the following religious folk song (Jagar) there is sentiment of violence too –

  पंडो भीम रिन्गौण को लोकगीत : या भीम बाजा नाच -गान में उग्रता के भाव

बाला दैणी होई जैन तेरी

दैणी होई जैन त्यरी वा सौ मण कि गदा

परतिज्ञा को दानि बाला

सौ मन कि गदा वाला तेरी होली नौ मन कि ढाल

बाला जंगलूं जंगलूं बाला

भाबरु भाबरु तुमकू रै गेन भारत पियारा

डाल़ा को गोळ हिलैकी बाला

डाल़ा मा बैठयाँ कौरौ कि पटापट पतगे लगाई दिने

चांदी छैला चौक मा बाला

नौ खारी रीठों को मेरा जोधा पिसम्यल्लो बैण याल़े

सौ मन का गोला भीम रे जोधा

सर्ग चूलेने असी असमान अपतां फेंकने हाथी

पर मेरा बाला. भीमसेण जोधा

 In this song the singer (Aujee) narrates the big strength of Bhima as he has a club of hundred tons, the shield weighing nine tons, as soon as Bhima comes in the battle Bhima kills Kauravas as radish, when by fear Kauravas climb on trees, Bhima shakes the trees and Kauravas fall down. Bhima throws elephants into the sky and nobody knows where elephants have gone.
