Is Mahabharata a true story?

It is true because every places in story are real places which until now exists and every character have proof of existence because there is statue in various place and scripture...At that time there was no video, no camera....so every event was written in paper and stone which exists till now ...There is about incarnation or reborn in Mahabharata which exists till now as dalai lama or many lama in Buddhist...No one can reject it because it exists till now.

Every one know and believe Buddha was existed..but after 1-2 thousand year people may doubt it existed or not...Sai baba which existed few year ago and have many video of proof but after many thousand year people may doubt he existed or not..They may saw video as proof but they doubt that is real or not... All these was real and people saw also but many year later that event became as story and people doubt..

Every one believe world war I and II..After many thousand year that becomes as story and people doubt that was real or not....All are real or true at present but later it becomes as doubt....People without knowledge believe it, people with greater knowledge believe it but who understand little bit don't believe.So, little knowledge is dangerous..

How are the religious and social themes expressed in Indian folk art?

Religious themes in folk art are traditionally Hindu and are inspired by Hindu mythologies - stories fro the 2 epics Ramayana and Mahabharata and also from the Puranas. Some Christian themes are later addition, but even Muslim craftspeople use Hindu legends, myths and symbols (for example, in Kalamkari). The interesting this is that inspiration might come from a more Sanskritised, Vedic background, and sometimes come from Tantric, local legends and tribal background.

Social themes generally are found in representation of everyday activities (for example in Warli painting) where stylised figures are shown doing rural activity of farming, household work or just celebrating life with song and dance. Lately, folk forms (not just painting, but also song and dance) have been successfully used to speak of current social (example: Patachitra) and political issues (example: Yakshagana).
