Lets practice our guessing game here


‘A’ can be the answer because

- head of military needs to be given some big honourable name

- Paik - should be foot soldiers because we have read Paika rebellion as 1st war of India’s Independence (contested), none other options suits Paik as much as foot soldiers 


just guessing, not sure ✌️

Perfect... just as@Celeborn also mentioned !!

A.

My logic- 

I knew paiks were compulsory service providers(military and otherwise) during the Ahoms and were sent from villages by rotation. I am left with A and D. Then if you see in the D option, C is given with 5( matching Havaldar as head of 3 havaldars). Eliminated D and came with A.

Same logic. Paikka rebellion is what I have heard of in modern history that they were militia/soldiers and revolted because of untimely cash being provided.

Choosing between B and D since both are relevant to clothing in and around India. However, given that Khalat/Khilat is a robe worn by many in Central Asian and Middle Eastern countries, I would go with D as my final answer.

Would have skipped or marked between C and D...C because it sounds like the Padma Bhushan award and D because it sounds similar to Khilafat which translates into Caliphate - an honorary position.
