Abstract: Sankerdeva is the architect (initiator) of Assamese Dramatic Literature. In the Pre-Sankerdeva era there was no audio-visual medium of Drama in India (Although there were some local dramatic programmes like Uja-Pali, Putola Nach, Dhuliya Bhawona etc.). The Sankerdeva had built the path of the Assamese Dramatic literature. In the Post-Sankerdeva era many writters had tried to write the Ankiya Nats, but unable to maintain the cardinal framework. That is why those dramas were not called ‘Ankiya Nats’, but a type of Ankiya drama. The modern drama arose based on Ankiya Nats. There are much more influences of Ankiya Nats in the Socio-cultural life of Assam. Although its influences are going less with changing of time. Appereantly it is also true that through the Philosophy of Ankiya Nat, Sankardeva wanted to bring positive approaches to the society.
In this paper the influences of Ankiya Nat in the Society and its Philosophy are the core matters to be discussed. The role of folk-culture plays a crucial role which is described here. Along with the importance of Ankiya Nats in contemporary times, comparaison of Ankiya Nats with the Modern Dramas, Role of Ankiya Nats in making a healthy Assamese Socio-Cultural enviornment, Objection of youths towards Ankiya Nats and Future of Ankiya Nats will be discussed here.
Keywords: Ankiya Nats, Contemporary Times, Socio-Cultural etc.
