Müller-Böker, Ulrike (1999). The voices from Chitwan: Some examples of the Tharus' oral tradition. Himalaya, 19(2):45-48.
The oral tradition of scriptless communities helps us to understand much about their history, livelihood strategies,
evaluation of the natural environment and last but not least, their culture. The following stories were collected during my fieldwork in Chitwan on knowledge, evaluation and utilization of the natural environment in Chitin (Müller-Böker 1999). They illustrate the notions Tharus have about important aspects of their life.
