               8       Many communities have their own versions of the Ramayaṇa and the

                       Mahabharata. They have also preserved legends connecting their own
                       history with these epics. This is especially true of tribal communities in many
                       parts of India, such as the Bhils, the Gonds, the Mundas and many more.
                       Most tribes of India’s northeast and Himalayan regions, including Kashmir,
                       have had their own version of one or the other of the two epics, or both.
                       These tribal adaptations are transmitted orally, along with legends on how
                       the heroes of the Ramayaṇa and the Mahabharata (generally any or all of

                       the five Paṇḍavas, their wife Draupadi, but also sometimes their cousin and
                       adversary Duryodhana) visited the tribes’ respective regions.

                           d)  Which tribal groups in India have their adaptations of the epics?
                           e)  How are tribal adaptations of these epics preserved?
