“…Faith Berk contends in her article, 'The Role of Mythology as a Cultural Identity and Cultural Heritage,' that man is a meaning-seeking creature. Humanity's capacity for imagination and critical thinking allows us to assume that culture and mythology have existed since the dawn of time [24]. As a result, the mythology and culture of a particular country serve as the foundation for many of mankind's accomplishments.…”

Purpose: Man, in contrast to other creatures, is concerned with spiritual issues such as cognitive, social, artistic, and political concerns. A deep relationship has existed between faith and humanity since the dawn of time, if not before. The various religious and cultural beliefs are reflected in myths. As a result, the history of civilizations is primarily linked to and identified with mythology and religion. With the guidance of mythology and culture, people can better understand their world and the meaning of life. Thousands of years had passed since the epic narratives were penned. However, the astonishing stories continue to uncover conspicuousness in every genre of art and continue to engulf and overwhelm us even today. Epic narratives are still loved not only for their poetic grandeur but also for the highest philosophical principles they contain, which educate us about the art of living. As a result, the Mahabharata is one of the most important writings in Indian culture, and its stories, which practically everyone has grown up hearing, are still relevant today. It is a true embodiment of a useful scripture that offers the modern man with a traditional, moral, and liturgical grounding even in the contemporary society. It is not just a story of morality to be narrated from the generations, but an unending source of study. Plenty of critics have studied the text from many perspectives, still much remains to be discovered and researched. The study intends to read four new retellings of the Mahabharata novels and look afresh into the four powerful female characters, namely, Sathyavati, Gandhari, Kunti, and Draupadi. The study discovers the quest for self-crisis of the four prominent female characters by applying feministic study, power politics, and gender views. The study mainly focuses on the comparison and contrast between the concept of western and Indian feminism. Methodology/Approach: The Literature Review is carried out by the information collected from different sources like educational websites, peer-reviewed journals, and online sources. The proposed research will be carried out relying on the data collected through research journals, doctoral thesis, scholarly articles, and websites. This qualitative approach is conducted mainly based on collecting, examining, and interpreting existing knowledge on the selected topic by focusing on the keywords "Feminism, Prominence, Relevance, Retelling, Self-Crisis, and Western". The methodology of the study is the textual analysis and comparative method. Findings/Result: Vast reading of mythology will enhance the further areas of study. The gap between western feminism and Indian feminism helps to identify the discrimination of women in a clear way. The detailed study of the construction of gender views over the years makes it insightful about the issue. Discover that there is a connection between feminist studies with other theoretical frameworks. Modern retellings of the epic novels widen the scope and understanding of the original work. The scope and relevance of feminism in India are become more clear by comparing and contrasting the Indian and western concepts of feminism. Paper type: Exploratory research paper.

“…Apart from having social, political, economic, and cultural functions, folklore also forms the cultural identity. Fatih Mehmet Berk [11] exemplifies the myths in Phrygia's civilization to shape their cultural identity from a historical point of view because, according to him, the memory of individual forms an identity of an individual so does a memory of a nation forms the identity of a nation. The same thing was said by Onusa Suwanpratest [12], folktale which contains cultural values from various nations in Asia, can show society's lifestyle.…”

This article aims to discuss the understanding of Manggarai youth of their folklore and the methods of transmission between generations. A qualitative research design was used with survey and interview methods to obtain data. The survey was conducted on 146 students and in-depth interviews took 15 people who were considered to be representative of all respondents. Based on the analysis, it can be seen that the inheritance of Manggarai folktales still occurs, although the number of known folktales is insignificant compared to the number of Manggarai folktales that have been transliterated and known by the Manggarai community. In addition, based on the level of education and the language used for intergenerational inheritance, it shows the reduced role of the Manggarai language, and a new transmission method is needed by the dynamics of the community so that the preservation of folklore can be carried out in the future.
