Who was appointed as the Commander in Chief by Birsa Munda?

CONCEPT: In a previous-year exam question, the expected answer must be checked against the final answer key for that exact paper. If a historical title is used loosely in secondary accounts, the exact wording of the question and the official key decide the marked exam response.

For the Birsa Munda movement, sources mention close aides, advisers, and commanders, but this item asks for the exact appointment as Commander in Chief.

APPLICATION: Reading the BPSC Higher Secondary General Studies and Computer Science Paper-4 final key together with the original question paper maps Series-A question 37 to the value None of the above.

Some secondary references describe Gaya Munda as a close aide or commander of Birsa Munda, which explains the common confusion. The final key for this PYQ, however, treats the exact appointment asked here as not being one of the named persons.

CONTRAST:

• Demka Munda is associated with the movement in lists of followers or advisers, not as the marked response for this exact title.

• Gaya Munda is the strongest near-miss because several accounts call him a commander, but the final exam key still does not mark that name here.

• Sundar Munda is not supported as the person tied to this exact appointment.

• More than one of the above would require more than one listed name to satisfy the exact title, which the key does not support.

Result: The BPSC-marked answer for this PYQ is None of the above.
