Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. NagalandD. नागालैंड
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Nagaland.
According to the source, the famous festival of Tsokum Samai is celebrated by the people of Nagaland to invoke blessings for a rich harvest.
The book describes Tsokum as a week-long festival celebrated every year in the month of October.
It is particularly associated with the Khiamniungan Tribe living in the Tuensang district of Nagaland.
The festival has an agricultural character and is described by the source as a pre-harvest festival.
Before harvesting their crops, people express gratitude to God for a good crop and participate in the celebrations with great joy and enthusiasm.
This makes Tsokum Samai important for competitive examinations because it can be asked through several different associations: festival-state, festival-tribe, festival-district, month of celebration or agricultural significance.
Students should therefore remember the complete chain rather than only the state.
The useful source-based revision chain is: Tsokum Samai — Nagaland — Khiamniungan Tribe — Tuensang district — October — week-long festival — pre-harvest celebration — prayers and thanksgiving for a good harvest.
Mizoram, Assam and Meghalaya are also North-Eastern states with distinctive tribal and harvest festivals, which makes them plausible distractors.
Such questions are common in SSC because North-Eastern festivals are often matched with their states and tribes.
According to the source, however, Tsokum Samai belongs to Nagaland.
Therefore option (d), Nagaland, is correct.
सही उत्तर नागालैंड है। स्रोत के अनुसार प्रसिद्ध Tsokum Samai त्योहार Nagaland के लोगों द्वारा अच्छी फसल के लिए आशीर्वाद प्राप्त करने हेतु मनाया जाता है। पुस्तक इसे एक week-long festival बताती है, जो प्रत्येक वर्ष October के महीने में आयोजित होता है। इसका विशेष संबंध Nagaland के Tuensang district में रहने वाली Khiamniungan Tribe से बताया गया है। स्रोत इसे pre-harvest festival अर्थात फसल काटने से पहले मनाया जाने वाला त्योहार भी बताता है। फसल की कटाई से पहले लोग अच्छी उपज के लिए ईश्वर को धन्यवाद देते हैं और उत्सव को बहुत आनंद तथा उत्साह के साथ मनाते हैं। इसलिए यह प्रश्न प्रतियोगी परीक्षा के लिए केवल state-festival matching तक सीमित नहीं है। इससे tribe, district, month और agricultural significance पर भी प्रश्न बन सकते हैं। पूरी revision chain याद रखें: Tsokum Samai — Nagaland — Khiamniungan Tribe — Tuensang district — October — week-long festival — pre-harvest celebration — अच्छी फसल के लिए धन्यवाद और आशीर्वाद। Mizoram, Assam और Meghalaya भी North-East के महत्वपूर्ण tribal states हैं और उनके अपने harvest festivals हैं, इसलिए वे अच्छे distractors हैं। SSC में North-Eastern festivals को states और tribes से match करने वाले प्रश्न बहुत सामान्य हैं। इस प्रश्न में source स्पष्ट रूप से Tsokum Samai को Nagaland से जोड़ता है। इसलिए विकल्प (d), नागालैंड, सही उत्तर है।
