SSC MTS - 16/10/2024 - (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM) • General Awareness • Q41

Which of the following is NOT a religious festival?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. Gandhi Jayanti.

The correct answer is Gandhi Jayanti. It is celebrated on 2nd October every year to honor the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi, the leader of India’s freedom struggle. It is a national festival, not a religious one. In contrast, Good Friday is a Christian festival, Guru Purab is a Sikh festival, and Muharram is observed in Islam. Gandhi Jayanti focuses on Gandhiji’s principles of peace and non-violence, making it a secular commemoration rather than a religious celebration.
