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.

  1. (A)

    Khwaja Saheb

  2. (B)

    Ramsa Pir

  3. (C)

    Shah Hamid

  4. (D)

    Baba Farid

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.
