RAS question
Baba Ramdev, a folk deity of Rajasthan, is worshipped by Muslims under the name:
Correct answer: (B) Ramsa Pir.
Baba Ramdev, the Rajasthan folk deity, is worshipped by Muslims as Ramsa Pir.
Explanation
Baba Ramdev is remembered in Rajasthan as a folk deity whose following crosses religious lines. He is revered by both Hindus and Muslims, and his Muslim devotional name is Ramsa Pir. The Rajasthan Public Service Commission previous-question paper frames this exact association: Baba Ramdev is worshipped by Hindus as an incarnation of Lord Krishna and by Muslims as Ramsa Pir. That is why option B is the only answer that names Baba Ramdev's Muslim form of worship, while the other options refer to unrelated saintly or Sufi identities.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) Khwaja Saheb refers to Moinuddin Chishti, so it is not the Muslim devotional name used for Baba Ramdev.
- (C) Shah Hamid is not associated with Baba Ramdev.
- (D) Baba Farid is identified in the question data as a Sufi saint from Punjab, not as Baba Ramdev's worship name among Muslims.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan folk-deity traditions and the cross-community names attached to them. RAS repeats such items because local cults, fairs, symbols and devotional identities are core Rajasthan History, Art and Culture facts.
