3. Thang-Ta dance — Sikkim

उत्तर और व्याख्या · explanation in English
Answer: (b) 1 और 2
Chapchar Kut belongs to Mizoram and Khongjom Parba to Manipur, so pairs 1 and 2 are right. Thang-Ta is a martial art of Manipur, not of Sikkim.
- ✓ 1. Chapchar Kut is Mizoram's spring festival, held in March after the jungle-clearing work of jhum (shifting) cultivation is over.
- ✓ 2. Khongjom Parba is a ballad tradition of Manipur, sung to the dholak. It narrates the Battle of Khongjom fought between the Manipuris and the British in April 1891.
- ✗ 3. Thang-Ta (thang means sword, ta means spear) is the martial art of the Meitei people of Manipur. It has no link with Sikkim.
Remember · Chapchar Kut: Mizoram. Khongjom Parba: Manipur (the 1891 Anglo-Manipuri battle). Thang-Ta: Manipur's sword-and-spear martial art.
