Which of the following dance forms were recognized as 'classical' forms of dance after India's Independence?
Answer: B
The six forms are Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kathakali, Odissi, Kuchipudi and Manipuri.
The NCERT history textbook for Class VII, in its chapter on regional cultures, lists these six as the forms recognised as 'classical' after Independence. (The Sangeet Natak Akademi has since added others, such as Sattriya and Mohiniyattam, but none of the options includes them.)
The other options each contain a folk dance. Bihu is the folk dance of Assam, and Bhangra is the folk dance of Punjab. Neither was ever classed as a classical form, so every list containing one of them is wrong.
