Correct Answerसही उत्तर
D. AssamD. असम
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Assam.
According to the source, Me-Dam-Me-Phi is a state holiday observed in Assam on January 31.
The festival is celebrated by the Ahom people in memory of the departed.
The question itself describes it as a festival of ancestor worship, which aligns with the source explanation that it commemorates departed ancestors.
Therefore the complete source-based chain is: Me-Dam-Me-Phi — Assam — Ahom people — ancestor worship
remembrance of the departed — January 31 — state holiday.
This is a highly useful cultural fact because questions may ask the state, community, purpose or date.
Students should especially remember the Ahom association, since the Ahoms are historically significant in Assam and the festival can be tested through that community link.
Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh also have important tribal and regional observances, but they are not the location identified by the source.
The date January 31 is explicitly stated by the book and should be retained for PYQ preparation.
Since the source describes it as a state holiday, that phrase is also useful for statement-based questions.
The source does not provide additional ritual details, origin stories or duration in this particular entry, so those should not be introduced as source-derived information.
For quick revision, remember: Me-Dam-Me-Phi — Assam — Ahom People — Ancestor Worship — Departed Ancestors — January 31 — State Holiday.
Therefore option (d), Assam, is correct.
सही उत्तर असम है। स्रोत के अनुसार Me-Dam-Me-Phi Assam में 31 January को observed होने वाला state holiday है। यह festival Ahom people द्वारा departed ancestors की memory में मनाया जाता है। Question इसे ancestor worship festival के रूप में describe करता है और source explanation भी यही बताती है कि यह departed लोगों की स्मृति से जुड़ा है। इसलिए complete source-based chain है: Me-Dam-Me-Phi — Assam — Ahom People — Ancestor Worship/Departed Ancestors की स्मृति — January 31 — State Holiday। यह cultural fact competitive exams के लिए बहुत उपयोगी है क्योंकि state, community, purpose और date—चारों में से किसी angle से question पूछा जा सकता है। Ahom association विशेष रूप से महत्वपूर्ण है क्योंकि Assam के इतिहास में Ahoms की बड़ी भूमिका रही है और festival-community matching में यही clue answer तय कर सकता है। Odisha, Chhattisgarh और Madhya Pradesh की भी महत्वपूर्ण tribal और regional traditions हैं, लेकिन source Me-Dam-Me-Phi को Assam से जोड़ता है। 31 January की date source में स्पष्ट रूप से दी गई है और PYQ preparation के लिए उसे याद रखना चाहिए। 'State holiday' वाला fact भी statement-based question में काम आ सकता है। Source इस entry में ritual details, origin story या duration नहीं देता, इसलिए उन्हें book-derived facts के रूप में नहीं जोड़ा गया है। Quick revision: Me-Dam-Me-Phi — Assam — Ahom — Ancestor Worship — 31 January — State Holiday। इसलिए विकल्प (d), असम, सही उत्तर है।
