Explanation
The Sahariya (also spelled Saharia/Sahriya) are explicitly listed among tribal groups found in Rajasthan, alongside their presence in adjoining Madhya Pradesh. A geography text names “Sahariya in Rajasthan” among other regional tribes, indicating their established habitation in the state [1]. Recent reports and ethnographic accounts further specify that within Rajasthan the Sahariya are concentrated in Baran district (notably Kishanganj and Shahbad tehsils), while sizable populations also live in several districts of Madhya Pradesh such as Morena, Sheopur, Bhind and Gwalior — reinforcing that Rajasthan is the correct choice from the given options [2].
