RAS question
Gorwar region is associated with:
Correct answer: (A) Jalore-Sirohi area.
Gorwar is associated with the Jalore-Sirohi area of south-western Rajasthan.
Explanation
Gorwar is best matched with the Jalore-Sirohi area because Gorwar, also rendered as Godwar, lies in south-western Rajasthan and covers Jalore, Sirohi and the southern part of Pali district. For the exam answer, Gorwar is the region around Jalore and parts of Sirohi in south-western Rajasthan. Its location along the edge of the Aravalli Hills also separates it from the better-known regional labels used for other options. So, for an RAS-style regional geography question, the key association is not a city-centred label such as Jodhpur, Udaipur or Bikaner, but the Jalore-Sirohi belt.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) Jodhpur area is associated with Marwar, so it does not identify Gorwar.
- (C) Udaipur area is associated with Mewar, while Gorwar is placed around Jalore and parts of Sirohi.
- (D) Bikaner area is associated with Jangladesh, not with the south-western Gorwar region.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's traditional regional divisions, where neighbouring belts can sound similar but map to different district clusters. It recurs in RAS because regional names such as Gorwar, Marwar, Mewar and Jangladesh are compact ways to test location memory and historical-geographical identity.
