Q. In which year was Alha Khand first published in written form?
Answer: 1865
Notes: Alha Khand, a Bundelkhand folk epic, was orally preserved for centuries before its first written publication by Charles Elliott in 1865. This marked the transition from oral to written tradition. Later, Shyam Sundar Das contributed further to its compilation, ensuring preservation of this significant ballad from Central India’s cultural heritage.
