One of the well-known romantic figures in Santali folklore is "Sidhu and Kanu," whose love story is akin to the Shakespearean tale of Romeo and Juliet. Their tragic love story, marked by familial feuds and societal opposition, has been immortalized in Santali music and oral traditions. It symbolizes the intense passion and depth of feeling that characterizes Santali romantic relationships. The advent of modernization and the influence of global cultures have brought significant changes to Santali relationships and romantic storylines. Urbanization and access to global media have introduced new ideas about love, marriage, and partnership. While some Santali youth embrace these changes, others strive to preserve their traditional values and customs.
