What was the theme of the National Tribal Literary Festival that concluded in New Delhi?
- A.Tribal Art and Craft of Bharat
- B.From Oral Tradition to Contemporary Tribal Literature
- C.Languages of the Forest
- D.Tribal Pride and National Development
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is From Oral Tradition to Contemporary Tribal Literature. The Ministry of Tribal Affairs organised the two-day National Tribal Literary Festival at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, and it closed on 13 November 2026 under exactly that theme, which framed every session of the programme. The theme explains why the closing day moved from oral epics such as the Gond Ramayana and the Bhil Mahabharata to readings by young tribal writers and poets working in print today. Option A names art and craft, but the festival was devoted to literature, not to handicrafts or visual art. Option C sounds plausible for a tribal language meeting, yet it was never the stated theme of this festival. Option D borrows the language of Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas, the celebration the festival formed part of, but the celebration is the occasion and not the theme. Only option B states the theme as announced by the Ministry.
