A.

Sabarkantha — Santhals

B.

Tawang — Adi

C.

Bidar — Bhil

D.

Birbhum — Gonds

Correct option is B

The Adi tribe is one of the major indigenous tribal groups found in Arunachal Pradesh, particularly in Tawang. They are known for their rich cultural heritage, traditional practices, and festivals like Solung and Aran. The Adis primarily reside in the Siang and Upper Subansiri districts, but they are also found in parts of Tawang.

Information Booster:

  1. The Adi tribe is a significant tribal group in Arunachal Pradesh, residing in Tawang and other regions.
  2. They practice Jhum (shifting) cultivation and have a strong connection with nature.
  3. Their social system is traditionally clan-based, and they follow animistic beliefs blended with Tibetan Buddhist influences.
  4. Solung is their most important festival, celebrating agriculture, prosperity, and warrior spirit.
  5. The Adis have historically lived in mountainous regions, adapting to difficult terrains.

Additional Knowledge:

  • Santhals are primarily found in Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, and Bihar, not Gujarat's Sabarkantha district.

(c) Bidar — Bhil  (Incorrect)

  • Bhil tribes are found in central and western India, including Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra, but they are not native to Bidar (Karnataka).

(d) Birbhum — Gonds  (Incorrect)

  • Gonds are found in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Telangana. Birbhum (West Bengal) is home to Santhals, not Gonds.
