The Bodos belong to Mongloid stock of Tibeto-Burman group and are one of the major tribes of Assam. Though they did not have written history they have folklore. Many historical and folklore materials are found from the writing of the eminent scholars like Rev.Sidney Endle, Suniti Kr.Chatterjee,Bishnu Presad Rabha,Promod Ch,Bhattacharjee and so on. Since the early part of the 20th century the educated Bodo youths started re-organizing their society and founded the nationalist organization with a view to re-unifying the scattered Bodos living different parts of Assam. As a result, the people came to know about their glorious past and tried to preserve and promote their language and folklore. Thereafter, they started collecting the Bodo folklore and publishing the Bodo magazines, books and even they wrote the script for drama on the Bodo legends, Kings and performed dramas in different places of Bodo dominated areas. Now they have revived their historical folksongs, folktales and legends, and reconstructed their history and politics only through the print medias. The paper tries to highlight the exploration of Bodo folklore through print media. Secondly, the role played by the print media in respect of the reconstruction of Bodo identity politics in the present times is to be studied. Methodology: This is a textual study of print media texts like Assamese, English, Bodo books, magazines, newspapers and souvenirs, advertisements.
