The Darlong community does not have any written document. Hence, the
community preserved their traditions and cultures through oral tradition and artifacts,
which too is in a dwindling state. Every materials with which the community define its
identity, existence and world where he is living in, taking from the anthropological myth
to fairy tales are transmitted from generation to generation through oral tradition. The Darlongs believed that the genesis of mankind lies in the ‘Sinlung’ myth. The people recalls that their forefathers came out of a cave called ‘Sinlung’.
