51. In a primitive community the whole body of persons comprising
it is 'Folk' and in the widest sense of the word it might equally be applied to the whole population of a civilized state. In its common application however to civilizations of the western type (In such compounds of Folk lore. Folk music etc.) It is narrowed down to include only those who are mainly out side the currents of urban culture and systematic education, the lettered or little lettered inhabitants of village and country side.
Encyclopaedia-vol, 9, p. 444. 52. The folks were understood to be a group of people who consti
tuted the lower stratum, the so called “Vulgus in peopl"-in contrast to the upper stratum or elite of that society. The Folk were contrasted on the one hand with civilization. They were the uncivilized element in a civilized society, but on the other hand, the folk was also contrasted with the so called Savage or primitive society which was considered even lower on the evolu tionary ladder.

न्याय तुम जीना चाहते हो, मरना नहीं। तुम सुखी बनना चाहते हो, दुःखी नहीं। तो भला औरों को मारना और दुःख देना कहां का न्याय है ? प्रतिपक्ष को पूरी ईमानदारी से सामने रखकर फिर उसका यौक्तिक प्रतिवाद करना न्याय है।
