Bhagwandas Patel (born 19 November 1943) is an Indian folklorist who pioneered research into Gujarat's tribal literature[1] and brought the state's oral literature to the attention of the literary community.[2] In 1995, he compiled the first published tribal version of the Ramayana, Bhili Lokakhyan: Roam Sitma ni Varatathe, the Ramakatha of the Bhil people.[3]
