Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (d) tribal languages
“Hali/Haley, Ho and Hurre” are traditional work-songs and calls used by tea-garden labourers (particularly in the plantations of Assam and North-East India). They accompany plucking and community celebrations, and are not dance forms, cave art or tribal languages. Hence they are associated with tea gardens, making option (b) correct. (Author’s note: very limited written documentation exists; the terms appear in ethnographic studies of Assam tea-estate folklore.)
