    In which tribe, “rite of Bow and Arrow” determines the social father :

    Toda

    Correct Answer

    Khasa

    Incorrect Answer

    Jaunsar Bawar

    Incorrect Answer

    Khasi

    Incorrect Answer
    Explanation:

    - Toda: The Todas are a pastoral tribe from the Nilgiris in South India. Their marriage customs are unique, but the "rite of Bow and Arrow" determining the social father is NOT a feature of their customs.

    - Khasa: Khasa are a Himalayan group, primarily found in Uttarakhand and Nepal. No significant reference to the "rite of Bow and Arrow" in determining the social father among them.

    - Jaunsar Bawar: This tribal group from Uttarakhand is known for polyandrous practices. Among them, the "rite of Bow and Arrow" is significant. The man who presents the bow and arrow during the ceremony is recognized as the child's social father, regardless of biological paternity.

    - Khasi: The Khasi, from Meghalaya, are matrilineal, and inheritance is through the female line. The concept of social father via a bow and arrow ritual does not exist here.

    The correct answer is: Option 3 - Jaunsar Bawar.
