India's vibrant cultural landscape is steeped in an oral tradition that has preserved countless folktales passed down through generations. These stories, though rarely written, form a vital part of the country’s heritage, reflecting the values, wisdom, and imagination of its people. Each region, with its distinct language and cultural nuances, boasts its own collection of folktales, yet many themes and narratives transcend regional boundaries, reappearing in various forms across the subcontinent.

The stories from Bengal, for example, are known for their depth and variety, drawing from the state's rich literary and cultural history. These tales often blend elements of the mystical with the everyday, featuring characters like clever animals, benevolent spirits, trickster figures, and heroic humans. The timeless nature of these stories allows them to continue resonating with audiences, even as the oral culture that sustained them faces the threat of decline.

Despite the erosion of oral storytelling, the tales of Bengal, like many others across India, persist through retellings and adaptations, keeping alive the rich heritage they embody. They serve as a testament to the power of storytelling in preserving history, culture, and moral lessons for future generations.
