Consider the following pairs: Community sometimes mentioned in the news - In the affairs of 1. Kurd : Bangladesh 2. Madhesi : Nepal 3. Rohingya : Myanmar Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
Answer
C
Explanation
The Madhesi are an indigenous ethnic group of Nepalese people who are natives of the Madhesh plains of Southern Nepal in Terai belt of South Asia. Between 25 and 35 million Kurds inhabit a mountainous region straddling the borders of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Iran and Armenia - NOT Bangladesh. The Rohingya are an ethnic Muslim minority in the majority Buddhist Myanmar. Hence pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched.
