A
The Brahmanas are a collection of ancient Indian texts with commentaries on the Vedas, composed between 900 and 700 BCE. These texts provide insights into the rituals and social structures of early Vedic society. The Bhils are mentioned in these texts, highlighting their presence and significance during that period.
Why the other options are less accurate:
(A) Vedas: While the Vedas are the oldest sacred texts of Hinduism, composed between 1500 and 1200 BCE, they primarily focus on hymns and rituals. There is no specific mention of the Bhils in these texts.
(C) Mahabharata: The Mahabharata, an epic composed between 400 BCE and 400 CE, does include characters like Eklavya, who is often associated with the Bhil tribe. However, this association is more symbolic and not a direct description of the tribe.
(D) Puranas: The Puranas, composed between 300 and 1500 CE, contain a vast array of myths and legends. While they mention various tribes and communities, the Bhils are not specifically described in these texts.
Therefore, among the options provided, the Brahmanas contain the earliest known description of the Bhils.
