What is the Parsi New Year known as?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. NavrozB. नवरोज
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Navroz.
According to the source, the Parsi New Year is also known as Navroz and is celebrated to mark the beginning of the Iranian calendar.
The book states that the tradition began about 3,000 years ago and is observed by the Parsi community around the world.
It further says that the day is also known as Jamshed-i-Nowruz, after the Persian king Jamshed, whom the source credits with introducing the Parsi calendar.
These details create several useful examination associations.
The main revision chain is: Parsi New Year — Navroz — beginning of Iranian calendar — Parsi community — tradition approximately 3,000 years old according to the source — also known as Jamshed-i-Nowruz — associated in the source with Persian King Jamshed.
Competitive examinations frequently ask New Year festivals of different communities and regions, so students should distinguish Navroz from other options.
Ugadi and Puthandu are names associated with other regional New Year traditions, while Pateti is another term that may appear in questions concerning the Parsi community and therefore acts as a particularly strong distractor here.
The book explicitly gives Navroz as the answer.
Students should also retain the alternative name Jamshed-i-Nowruz because an SSC question can ask the same fact in reverse.
The source does not expand upon the Iranian calendar or provide a specific modern date for the festival in this entry.
Therefore those details are not added as source-derived information.
Hence option (b), Navroz, is correct.
सही उत्तर नवरोज है। स्रोत के अनुसार Parsi New Year को Navroz कहा जाता है और इसे Iranian calendar की शुरुआत को mark करने के लिए मनाया जाता है। पुस्तक बताती है कि यह tradition लगभग 3000 years पहले शुरू हुई थी और दुनिया भर की Parsi community द्वारा observed की जाती है। Source यह भी बताता है कि इस दिन को Jamshed-i-Nowruz कहा जाता है, जिसका नाम Persian King Jamshed से जोड़ा गया है। पुस्तक के अनुसार Jamshed ने Parsi calendar को introduce किया था। इसलिए इस question से कई महत्वपूर्ण exam associations मिलते हैं: Parsi New Year — Navroz — Beginning of Iranian Calendar — Parsi Community — लगभग 3000 वर्ष पुरानी tradition — Jamshed-i-Nowruz — Persian King Jamshed। Competitive exams में अलग-अलग communities और regions के New Year festivals से matching questions पूछे जाते हैं। इसलिए Navroz को अन्य options से distinguish करना जरूरी है। Ugadi और Puthandu दूसरी regional New Year traditions से जुड़े नाम हैं, जबकि Pateti Parsi-related questions में दिखाई देने वाला term है और इसलिए यहां strong distractor बनता है। Source स्पष्ट रूप से Navroz को correct answer देता है। Jamshed-i-Nowruz नाम भी याद रखें क्योंकि future question alternative name के रूप में पूछा जा सकता है। Source इस entry में Iranian calendar की detailed structure या modern festival date नहीं बताता, इसलिए उन्हें book-derived information के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Parsi New Year — Navroz — Iranian Calendar — Jamshed-i-Nowruz — Parsi Community। इसलिए विकल्प (b), नवरोज, सही है।
