Which of the following folk songs is associated with the rainy season?
Correct Answerसही उत्तर
A. KajriA. कजरी
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is Kajri.
According to the source, Kajri is a folk song sung by women of Uttar Pradesh and adjacent regions during the rainy season.
This question therefore tests the seasonal association already supplied in an earlier PYQ.
The complete source-supported chain is: Kajri — Uttar Pradesh and adjacent regions — sung by women — rainy season.
The remaining options can also be distinguished using facts already established in the same chapter.
Sohar is associated with childbirth or the birth of a child; Mando is a musical form of Goa associated by the source with Goan Catholics and a meeting of Indian and Western musical traditions; Pandavani is a folk singing
narrative tradition of Chhattisgarh connected with stories of the Pandavas.
Thus, all four options are meaningful cultural terms, but only Kajri matches the rainy-season clue.
This is a useful example of why students should revise folk traditions by multiple dimensions: state, community, occasion and season.
If only the state is memorised, an occasion-based question can still become difficult.
The source does not specify a particular rainy-season month in this explanation, so no exact month should be inferred from it.
Similarly, it does not give instruments or a particular district for Kajri here.
The repeated testing of Kajri in the book makes the association especially important.
Quick revision: Kajri — Uttar Pradesh
adjacent regions — Women — Rainy Season; Sohar — Birth of Child; Mando — Goa; Pandavani — Chhattisgarh
Pandavas.
Therefore option (a), Kajri, is correct.
सही उत्तर कजरी है। स्रोत के अनुसार Kajri एक folk song है जिसे Uttar Pradesh और adjacent regions की women rainy season में गाती हैं। इसलिए यह question earlier PYQ में दिए seasonal association को दोबारा test करता है। Complete source-supported chain है: Kajri — Uttar Pradesh and Adjacent Regions — Women — Rainy Season। बाकी options को भी इसी chapter के source facts से distinguish किया जा सकता है। Sohar childbirth या बच्चे के जन्म से associated है; Mando Goa का musical form है जिसे source Goan Catholics तथा Indian-Western musical traditions के meeting point से जोड़ती है; Pandavani Chhattisgarh की folk singing/narrative tradition है जो Pandavas की stories से संबंधित है। इसलिए चारों options meaningful cultural terms हैं, लेकिन rainy-season clue केवल Kajri से match करता है। यह दिखाता है कि folk traditions को केवल state से नहीं बल्कि community, occasion और season के आधार पर भी revise करना चाहिए। केवल state याद करने पर occasion-based question कठिन हो सकता है। Source इस explanation में rainy season का कोई specific month नहीं बताती, इसलिए exact month infer नहीं किया गया है। इसी तरह Kajri के instruments या particular district की information भी यहां नहीं दी गई है। Book में Kajri का repeated testing इस association को और important बनाता है। Quick revision: Kajri — Uttar Pradesh — Women — Rainy Season; Sohar — Birth of Child; Mando — Goa; Pandavani — Chhattisgarh/Pandavas। इसलिए विकल्प (a), कजरी, सही उत्तर है।
