This previous-year-style question tests Indian culture: “During which festival is the Nongkrem dance performed by Khasi tribes?” The correct answer is Wangla. The correct answer is Wangla. This question belongs to Static GK under Indian and regional dance traditions Indian culture includes classical and folk dances, theatre, puppetry, music, textiles, painting, crafts, fairs, festivals and living ritual traditions. Therefore the wording must be read carefully: ‘originated in’, ‘performed in’, ‘associated with’ and ‘officially recognised’ are not identical claims. A map of Indian states combined with a revision table of dance, craft and festival associations is especially useful. The option Wangla best matches the cultural clue and regional association.
