RAS question
Torawati region is associated with:
Correct answer: (A) Sikar.
Torawati is associated with the Sikar region in the Shekhawati area of Rajasthan.
Explanation
Torawati is the historical regional name linked with Sikar in Shekhawati, so Sikar is the best answer among the four options. Torawati, also called Tanwarawati or Toravati, is a region that includes the eastern and south-eastern part of Sikar district, along with adjoining areas. This establishes the association with Sikar. The exam-relevant memory hook is simple: Torawati is understood as the old name for the Sikar region in Shekhawati and is connected with the Tor, or turret-fort, tradition. The key is to identify the historical-cultural regional label, not the present-day administrative district alone.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) Jodhpur is associated with Marwar, so it does not match the Torawati label tested here.
- (C) Jaipur is classically associated with Dhundhar in this regional-names framework, not with the Sikar-linked Torawati answer.
- (D) Bikaner belongs to the Jangladesh association, which is a separate Rajasthan regional identity from Torawati.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan's historical-cultural regional names, especially how older territorial labels map onto present exam geography. Such questions recur in RAS because they link districts, regions and identity terms in a compact factual form.
