The question was - "State which identifies much as one of its cultural symbols. He chose the correct asnwer as 'Assam'. However when one of the students asked him further that 'what is a gamucha', the teacher is seen answering confidently, calling it an animal.


For the unversed, Gamocha is a traditional cotton towel, a cloth which is used for gifting another person by wrapping it around his/her neck, which shows the sign of respect.
