Q. Consider the following martial traditions of India: - Musti Yuddha – Ancient Indian boxing from Uttar Pradesh
- Gatka – Sikh martial art involving swords and sticks
- Mardani Khel – Linked to Maratha guerrilla warfare
- Kalaripayattu – Tribal archery practice of South India
How many of the above are correctly matched?
Answer:
Only three
Notes: Musti Yuddha is an ancient boxing style from Uttar Pradesh. Gatka is a Sikh martial art featuring swords and sticks, mainly in Punjab. Mardani Khel is associated with the Marathas in Maharashtra and guerrilla tactics. Kalaripayattu, however, is a martial art of Kerala involving unarmed combat and weapons, not tribal archery of south India. Thus, three are correctly matched.
