Consider the following pairs : Tribe State 1. Limboo (Limbu) : Sikkim 2. Karbi : Himachal Pradesh 3. Donagaria Kondh : Odisha 4. Bonda : Tamil Nadu Which of the above pairs are correctly matched?
Explanation
The Limboo (Limbu) tribe is indigenous to Sikkim and Nepal, making pair 1 correct . The Karbi tribe is primarily located in the Karbi Anglong district of Assam, not Himachal Pradesh, so pair 2 is incorrect [2]. The Dongaria Kondh (Donagaria Kondh) tribe is indigenous to the Niyamgiri Hills in Odisha, making pair 3 correct . The Bonda tribe is also indigenous to the Bondo Hills in Odisha, not Tamil Nadu, which makes pair 4 incorrect . Therefore, only pairs 1 and 3 are correctly matched. The Karbi people are one of the major ethnic groups in Northeast India, particularly within the autonomous hills of Assam [2]. The Bonda and Dongaria Kondh are recognized as Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) primarily residing in the state of Odisha.
