Assertion: Today the youth in India like western dance forms more than the Indian Classical dance forms..
Reasoning: Western dance forms have strong base than Indian classical dance forms.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
Let's evaluate the statements:
- Assertion (A): Today the youth in India like western dance forms more than the Indian classical dance forms.
This is generally considered true as a broad observation about popular trends among many young people. - Reason (R): Western dance forms have stronger base than Indian classical dance forms.
This is not correct. Indian classical dance forms such as Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Odissi, Kuchipudi, Kathakali, Manipuri, Mohiniyattam, and Sattriya have centuries-old, well-established traditions and rigorous techniques. Saying Western dance forms have a "stronger base" is a subjective claim and not a valid explanation.
