Pick out the odd one of the following couples in Mizo folktales
A)
Chawngvungi and Sawngkhara
B)
Duhmanga and Tlingi
C)
Raldawna and Tumchhingi
D)
Chhawrtuineihlala and Tuanpuii
In Mizo folklore, the 'odd one out' is determined by identifying which pair does not represent a recognized romantic couple or a legendary pair of lovers.
1. Chawngvungi and Sawngkhara (Option a): One of the most famous tragic love stories in Mizo folklore, characterized by their deep devotion and the obstacles they faced.
2. Duhmanga and Tlingi (Option b): A well-known legendary couple in Mizo oral tradition.
3. Raldawna and Tumchhingi (Option c): Another classic pair from Mizo folk tales known for their romantic narrative.
4. Chhawrtuineihlala and Tuanpuii (Option d): While Chhawrtuineihlala is a figure in Mizo lore, Tuanpuii is not his romantic partner in the context of these established folklore couples. Tuanpui refers more broadly to the 'Tuan' (paradise/heavenly realm) or specific mythological entities, and this pairing does not constitute a standard 'couple' like the others listed.
Therefore, option (d) is the odd one out as it does not represent a traditional romantic couple from Mizo folktales.
