Which one of the following pairs of Tribe and State is NOT correctly matched ?

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The Tharu tribe is primarily concentrated in the Terai region of the Himalayas, specifically in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Bihar, as well as in Nepal [2]. They are recognized as a significant Scheduled Tribe in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, particularly in districts like Lakhimpur Kheri and Udhamsingh Nagar. They do not have a significant presence in Madhya Pradesh. In contrast, the Adi tribe is a major group in Arunachal Pradesh. The Irula tribe is found in the southern states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Andhra Pradesh [2]. The Sahariya (or Shaharia) tribe is a Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Group (PVTG) primarily located in Rajasthan and parts of Madhya Pradesh [2]. Therefore, the pair 'Tharu: Madhya Pradesh' is incorrectly matched.
