Janjatiya Gaurav Divas marks the birth anniversary of which leader?
- A.Bhagwan Birsa Munda
- B.Tilka Manjhi
- C.Rani Durgavati
- D.Alluri Sitarama Raju
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Bhagwan Birsa Munda. The observance is set on his birth anniversary, and the tribute of the day is paid at his statue at Prerna Sthal in the Parliament premises. He led the tribal community in resistance to British rule and spoke for its rights, its dignity and its identity, and the call of Ulgulan is associated with him. Options B, C and D name other figures who are remembered in their own right, but the national observance of Janjatiya Gaurav Divas is not tied to any of their birth anniversaries. The day as a whole is intended to honour the sacrifices of tribal freedom fighters and the contribution of tribal communities to India's freedom struggle and to nation-building, and it has been kept every year since 2021. The pairing of the date and Birsa Munda is what examiners test.
