- A.50th year of its formation
- B.60th year of its formation
- C.75th year of its formation
- D.25th year of its formation
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is the 60th year of its formation. Hirak Jayanti means diamond jubilee, and a diamond jubilee marks sixty years, which is the clue a candidate can use even without recalling the news. Option A would be a golden jubilee, option C a platinum one and option D a silver jubilee, so each names a real milestone but the wrong one for this occasion. The celebration was held at Kurukshetra on 1 November 2026, the day Haryana observes as its foundation day, and the President was present at it. In her address she congratulated the people of the State and said they have contributed across the freedom struggle, social change, democracy, literature and science. She also recalled that this is the land from which the message of selfless action taught by Bhagwan Krishna spread, and which gave the world the Gita.
