Correct option is D

Tribal groups in the medieval period did not maintain written records, which is why there is limited information about them in historical accounts. Most of the knowledge we have about these groups comes from external sources, such as records written by medieval rulers or travelers, rather than from the tribes themselves. Since they relied primarily on oral traditions rather than written documentation, much of their history and cultural practices remain undocumented.

Information Booster:

·       Tribal societies were primarily oral cultures, relying on oral traditions and storytelling to pass down their history, customs, and knowledge.

·       The lack of written records makes it challenging for historians to reconstruct their past with the same clarity as other groups who documented their history.

·       What we know about tribal groups often comes from archaeological evidence or external accounts by rulers or travelers, which can sometimes be biased or incomplete.

·       British colonial rule brought tribal groups into greater focus due to policies affecting their lands, resources, and way of life.

·       The oral tradition has left gaps in the recorded history of tribal groups, but they have been important contributors to India’s social and cultural fabric.
