Back to paper

Which of the following is not considered a regional name for any part of the East Coast of India?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Malabar Coast.

India's east coast runs along the Bay of Bengal and is divided into three major coastal regions: Utkal Coast (Odisha), Coromandel Coast (Tamil Nadu and southern Andhra Pradesh), and the Northern Circars (northern Andhra Pradesh). Each of these regions is geographically and culturally significant and has its unique coastal identity.

  • The Coromandel Coast refers to the southeastern coastal region mainly in Tamil Nadu and southern Andhra Pradesh.

  • The Utkal Coast lies along Odisha's coastline.

  • The Tamil Nadu Coast is essentially a part of the Coromandel Coast, and though not a formal term, it’s commonly used regionally to refer to that coastal stretch.
