“Migration plots” in Kazakh fairy tales and Indian literary monuments

Abstract

The issue of the plot commonality of Kazakh fairy tales and ancient Indian written monuments
has not yet become the subject of comprehensive scientific research, in this regard only separate works
can be mentioned. Legends and myths from Eastern literature are not only absorbed by kazakh fairy tales,
but also include many other works based on ancient stories. It is known that these legendary stories first
passed from one to another literary monuments of India and were formed as a migration plot in the country
itself. Then the migration plots spread to a number of countries of the world, then to the Central Asia and
became the basis for topical works of neighboring peoples. The Kazakh literature includes numerous stories
that originate from Indian literary relics. Special attention is paid to the abundance of stories common to
Kazakh fairy tales and ancient Indian literary monuments.
The current work reflects the nature of the legends that exist in the literature of the two countries,
the ways of spreading the stories, their adaptation to the realities of the nation, their acquisition of new characteristics, as well as the ideas about the interaction of literatures. A comprehensive analysis of the

differences and similarities of common plots is conducted.
