Questions

Q1

In a case of life-imitating-art-imitating-life (or something like that), X was played by Y in two movies and the audience reaction was so laudatory that X started resembling his own portrayal in later years. What am I talking about ? Abecedare 01:53, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Lalmohan Ganguly "Jatayu" and Santosh Dutta? -- Longhairandabeard 02:11, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Correct LHAB ! I knew this question, though vaguely worded, wouldn't last long on this forum :-) The baton is in your hands now. Abecedare 02:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! I am translating Satyajit Ray for the Hindi wiki these days, and came across this fun fact a couple of days back. -- Longhairandabeard 02:35, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Q2

Great! The next question is a limerick, at least a feeble attempt at one. Half a point for identifying the person, and the other half for decoding the limerick..

There was a young man from 'Madras'
Who tried medicine, ivy and Sannyasa,

His brews killed Crab and pus,
An alien, inspired a fungus,

Unheard of, he strengthens your shwaas!
-- Longhairandabeard 02:23, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmmm.. I am not really sure if I can give another hint. I exhausted all of them for the limerick!! Let me try to uncryptize some of them: In the second line, he tried those three things, but wasn't successful with either of them. -- Longhairandabeard 20:00, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Yellapragada Subbarao.--Dwaipayan (talk) 20:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Yup, but that's only worth half the points. Care to explain the clues? -- Longhairandabeard 22:10, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Madras — Madras Presidency; Tried medicine — he was awarded the lesser LMS certificate and not the MBBS degree. Subba Row tried to enter the Madras Medical Service without success; His brews killed crab and pus — He developed the important anti-cancer (crab in clue) drug Methotrexate, still in widespread clinical use today, and the drug Hetrazan which was used by WHO against filariasis, and Aureomycin in 1945, the world's first tetracycline antibiotic. Fungus — A new fungus was named in his honor: Subbaromyces splendens; An alien — Subbarao remained an alien without a green card all his life.--Dwaipayan (talk) 03:45, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Tried ivy — He was fascinated by the healing powers of Ayurvedic medicines and began to engage in research to put Ayurveda on a modern footing. Well, cannot decipher Sannyas and Strengthening of shwaas. Well, could santas be his interest in religion?
Bye the way, thanks for the question. Did not know so many common medicines he did discover!--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:06, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Yea, he's quite an inspiring person. You got enough clues to earn the rest of the half of the point. The other clues are from a website in his name. 'Ivy' was a reference to his stint at Harvard (ivy league) which he left because they wouldn't give him a proper faculty appointment. He wanted to become a Sannyasi in adolescence, but his mother didn't let him, and the folks at Ramkrishna Mission encouraged him to join medicine instead. The last line is paraphrasing a quotation, "You've probably never heard of Dr. Yellapragada SubbaRow," wrote Doron K. Antrim in Argosy in April 1950. "Yet because he lived you may live longer". Your turn now. -- Longhairandabeard 05:02, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
Great limerick LHAB (if you get it published, it can be in the Yellapragada Subbarao lead) and nice sleuthing Dwaipayan. Abecedare 05:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Q3

Relatively easy question. This operation was launched by a provincial government in late 1970s. The operation went on to make controversies. Whether the intended goal was achieved or not lies in the realms of the historians. However, undeniably, the operation became highly popular among the intended population, and the greatly helped the political party involved in solidifying their vote bank. Name the operation.--Dwaipayan (talk) 07:28, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Am not entirely sure, but are you referring to loan melas? --Gurubrahma 10:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
No.--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:07, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Is it throwing out of MNCs from India? --Zenithcoolest 14:36 15th April (UTC)
No. Did that helped solidifying vote bank? One clue: this operation had a specific name.--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Operation Barga. It is a pity that this important event does not have an article. I will not be able to ask the next question, so someone else please take up the baton. — Ravikiran 16:30, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes it is Operation Barga. An operation taken up by the Left Front government of West Bengal in 1978, for recording the names of sharecroppers (bargadars) avoiding the time-consuming method of recording through the settlement machinery. Previously it was almost impossible for a tenant to prove his tenancy rights legally owing to the judicial and other administrative red-tapism. But in the new amendments the responsibility of disproving a claim to bagadari rights was squarely put on the landowners. Self-Cultivation was defined as cultivation on the basis of physical participation by members of the landowners' family and resumption of land under self-cultivation were made under many stringent conditions. [1] More in here and here. Should definitely have an article.
I will not be able to ask a question now or for the next 24 hours. If anybody does not put a question, I shall try to put a new one tomoorow late night (IST). Regards.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:38, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Q4

Here's a question to keep it going.. X was a very famous Indian. Legend has it that X was murdered in another nation Y, and upon the death of X, the king Z of that nation immolated himself in X's pyre. Who was X? -- Longhairandabeard 05:14, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

X is Kalidasa. Y is Sri Lanka. Z is Kumara Dharamsena --- Zenithcoolest 15:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

You got it! Welcome to PINQ, Zenithcoolest, your turn now to ask the next question! -- Longhairandabeard 22:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Q5

Connect Dalsukh Pancholi, Lata Mangeshkar and O.P.Nayyar --- Zenithcoolest 00:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

When Lata was twelve, there was a nationwide Khazanchi competition sponsored by producer Dalsukh Pancholi, to celebrate the runaway success of his musical hit film, Khazanchi, as well as to look for new talent. Lata won the first prize.
O._P._Nayyar is renowned for the fact that he never worked with Lata Mangeshkar (due to this: in 1952, Nayyar was doing a film score for Dalsukh Pancholi’s Aasman and Lata was late). --Ragib 00:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)


You got it Ragib. For Aasman, Dalsukh Pancholi introduced a new composer, O.P.Nayyar Like all composers of that era he wanted Lata to sing his songs, which he had composed keeping her voice in mind. However, Lata could not make it to the recordings for three days due to other commitments. So Nayyar decided that he will never use Lata in future and till date has kept his word.
Over to you now Ragib --- Zenithcoolest 04:53, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Q6

Connect Tipu Sultan, Patrick Stewart, and Naseeruddin Shah. --Ragib 05:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Captain Nemo??
Correct, and the explanations are fine too. Captain Nemo of Jules Verne is portrayed as Prince Dakkar, the Hindu son of the rajah of Bundelkund and nephew of Tippoo Sahib, having a deep hatred of the British conquest of India. Your turn. --Ragib 07:34, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Q7

After a very long time, here I'm with a question. Identify the connection Thailand - A flower - Kerala --Natrajdr 08:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Ratchaphruek, flower of the Golden Shower Tree is the national flower of Thailand, and state flower of Kerala. --Ragib 08:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes! Golden Shower Tree is correct. However, I was thinking of the flower being used as a primary offering during the festival of Vishu in Kerala. I'm not sure about the State flower part. Do you have any reference? Anyway, you have the baton now ! --Natrajdr 09:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
The Golden Shower Tree article says so. --Ragib 10:20, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I observed that. However, I don't find any such reference elsewhere including Kerala State website. --Natrajdr 11:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
The state flower of Kerala is mentioned here as "Kannikonnam"Vignesh 16:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
It is Kannikonna. Jisha (Talk) 17:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Both are correct. Kannikonna is yet another name for the species Cassia fistula, which is known in Thailand as "Ratchaphruek" (Golden Shower Tree). --Ragib 04:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
I meant, Kannikonna = Ratchaphruek = Golden Shower Tree. --Ragib 09:09, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
I think Kannikonna is more correct. Konna is a more generic term which includes other trees (like sheemakkonna, as Jisha would know) Tintin 09:04, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Q8

His ancestors came from the north, but he was born in the east. He has earned many awards, but has turned down even more. Who is he? --Ragib 04:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Ustad Vilayat Khan? -- Longhairandabeard 22:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Correct. Vilayat Khan's ancestors were from Uttar Pradesh, but he was born in East Bengal. He has been awarded Padma Shri, Padma Bhushan, Padma Vibhushan, Sangeet Natak Akademi etc awards, but turned them all down. See Vilayat Khan#Controversy for details. --Ragib 00:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Q9

A clerihew is next (fill up the name in the blanks in the first line):

_________ ________
Had the 2 rupee guy for pati,
He, Chaitanya and she
Tried to beat Nara but it could not be.
-- Longhairandabeard 02:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Excellent, excellent LHAB. The answer is Lakshmi Parvathi, the second wife of NTR; I guess you are calling NTR the 2 rupee guy because he launched Rs.2/- a kg of rice for poor people in his first stint as CM and brought it back after getting elected - a gap of over 12 years. Chaitanya is the Chaitanya Ratham, the elction campaign vehicle used by him and his wife - Nara of course is Nara Chandrababu Naidu, his son-in-law. And you nailed a good red link! --Gurubrahma 05:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
You got it! And everything is perfectly linked! Your turn.. -- Longhairandabeard 07:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Q10

Spoken of in the same breath as Sachin, he broke the latter's record to become the youngest Indian (or even player?) to score a century in first class career. Could have earned an India cap but for the tragic fate - who am I talking about? --Gurubrahma 08:20, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Amol Mazumdar.--Dwaipayan (talk) 08:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Gurubrahma, he scored his first fc hundred before SRT. Tintin 08:57, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Amol Mazumdar (btw, spelt Muzumdar in Cricinfo) is not the person I had in my mind. He had the world record (I don't know if he still has it) for the highest score on first class debut, not the youngest AFAICT. btw, my original source was a newspaper article which seems to be wrong (after I've domne some cross-checking with other forums). Anyways, Amol Mazumdar is a good red link, unless his record has been broken by Ambati Rayudu. OK, the person I have in mind was considered to be a potential India cap. He had scored a tad over 1000 runs in first class cricket. I refer to a tragic fate in the question. This person is younger to Sachin and was born in the same year as Muzumdar. Connect these and get the person; sorry for the inadvertent confusion in the question. --Gurubrahma 10:56, 24 April 2007 (UTC)


Dhruv Pandove (Tribune article)? --Ragib 11:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Indeed. He tragically died at the age of 18 in an accident. A stadium and a trophy are named after him. btw, the Tribune article seems to have got some facts wrong as can be seen by looking at discussions on some cricket lovers' forums. 2 red links now. The baton is all yours, Ragib. --Gurubrahma 11:10, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Q11

There are at least 4 poets known by the name. One of them was famous for writing a medieval epic, narrating the love of a deity and his consort. What is the name of the poet (s)? --Ragib 08:35, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Jayadeva? Hornplease 08:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
No ... Jayadeva was a single poet's name ... the name I'm talking about is historically associated with at least 4 poets. --Ragib 09:47, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
A wild guess- Avvaiyar? But, I'm not aware of such an epic written by her. -- Sundar \talk \contribs 09:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Childish guess—Kalidas.--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
No and No. To give you guys a hint, let me reword ... "epic" is not the exact word for his work, I should say that he wrote a collection of Bhakti-inspiring songs on the topic. --Ragib 10:38, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
It's Chandidas. The epic is Shreekrishna Kirtana.--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:57, 27 April 2007 (UTC)


Correct!! At least 4 poets were known by the name Chandidas, but among them, Boru Chandidas is perhaps the most famous. He wrote the Shreekrishna Kirtana, a collection of Bhakti-inspired songs/poems. The songs were written in medieval Bengali, and discussed the love between Radha and Krishna. (I've read the poems ... those are at least 700 years old, but can be understood by me to some extent). --Ragib 11:02, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
You have read Shreekrishna Kirtana! That's great. Though parts of those were in our syllabus in high school under the "history of Bengali literature", we didn't have to read them really. Yes, I remember one or two lines, that were understandable.--Dwaipayan (talk) 11:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, out of curiosity, I once read the book "Boru Chondidasher Kabya", which was probably a B.A. level text book ...that book contained the original text of the songs, and a modern Bangla translation. The actual poems are a bit too risque/explicit to be in school level text ... :) --Ragib 11:22, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Q12

Some very specific category (or categories) of people gathers here annually to take part in a festival. The festival commemorates a certain story of Mahabharata. People get married to a deity in this festival. But the marriage lasts just one day. This festival is known to take place in this single venue only. Name the place and the festival.--Dwaipayan (talk) 10:25, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Transgender marriage to Lord Aravan in TN ?? Called Koovagam festival. --Jisha (Talk) 11:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Correct. Your turn.--Dwaipayan (talk) 12:07, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Also, [2]. Will try to put up the question in 3 hrs time.--Jisha (Talk) 12:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Q13

Connect Stanley medical college → visual perception → Behavioral neurology → the person "X" .--Jisha (Talk) 15:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Vilayanur S. Ramachandran. --Dwaipayan (talk) 15:51, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
You have it Dwaipayanc. BTW was it that easy? :)--Jisha (Talk) 17:32, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Well, it was easy for me because I knew the name and specialty and that he is from Chennai. However, Google search too gives the answer pretty easily. Will take some time to put the next question, may be almost 24 hours. Sorry for the delay.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:45, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Q14

This question relates to particular places in a city and the names given go from an ascending order:
Darkness --- Despicable Biscuit --- Álvaro de Bazán --- X --- Y
Give the names of X & Y and the names of the places with the cryptic clues.--Agεθ020 (ΔTФC) 23:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
(Sorry Dwaipayan, I know its your turn but this question just hit me and so I decided to post it.)--Agεθ020 (ΔTФC) 23:00, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Khar Road, Vandre.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:59, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Stations in Mumbai Suburban Railway, Western line. Darkness is Andheri; Despicable buiscuit is Ville Parle; Álvaro de Bazán is Santa Cruz. I simply forgot i had to ask a question. Thanks Ageo020 for putting the question. Became suddenly busy in real life, and was seeing the Lage Raho Munna Bhai FAC here. Simply forgot. Sorry. And could not resist guessing the answer this time, too :( --Dwaipayan (talk) 05:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Full points to you Dwaipayan. Darkness in Marathi means Andheri. Vile means Despicable and Biscuit is the brand of biscuit Parle. Álvaro de Bazán was the Marquis of Santa Cruz, hence the name. And the next two stations on the Western line is Khar Road and Bandra --Agεθ020 (ΔTФC) 17:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Q15

Easy one. This song was the cause of a 500 million doallar lawsuit between an Indian company and American company. Which song?--Dwaipayan (talk) 15:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Addictive (song), by Truth Hurts for Dr. Dre's Aftermath label. Song was plagiarized from Lata Mangeshkar's "Thoda Resham Lagta Hai". Saregama India filed the lawsuit against Universal Music Group. --Ragib 16:17, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
It was extremely easy. Your turn, Ragib.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll be out of Internet/WP for next two weeks, so can anyone else please post the question? Thanks. --Ragib 18:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Q16

Let me post one just to keep it going. One of the many stories behind the name of this dish is that it was voted by Indian soldiers to be a favourite easy-to-make dish. What is it? --ti 00:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Chicken 65? [3] -- Longhairandabeard 01:18, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
is correct. A very delectable dish indeed. Batons yours, LHAB! --ti 04:07, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Q17

All right! Another limerick, this one should be easy, though..

There was an old man from Bihar
Who lost an arm in the First War.

Inspired very many other,
The leader became Amar.

"Lucky the foe, he was 4, not 2, score!"

-- Longhairandabeard 15:54, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hint: The First War is often not considered a war by many historians. -- Longhairandabeard 04:15, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Kunwar Singh.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey I am new one for quizing here plz be fast for putting question,s and answers.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.227.116.87 (talkcontribs) 09:46, 9 May 2007

Yup, Dwaipayan, you got it! Kunwar Singh was 80 years old (4 score) at the time of the First War of Indian Independence. He lost an arm towards the end, and was followed by his brother Amar Singh after his death as the leader of the rebels. George Trevelyan, a British politician, said, "It was uncommonly lucky for us that Coer Singh was not forty years younger." [4] The baton is all yours.. -- Longhairandabeard 12:37, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Q18

He could not compete for IAS examination as he was under-age. Later he became an academic and also a politician. He authored a book on an well-known Indian film personality. He told that the book was his greatest achievement. Who is the person?--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:35, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Got it, I think. Meghnad Desai, Baron Desai. -- Longhairandabeard 04:04, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, your turn, LHAB.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:18, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Q19

This limerick making is getting addictive. Here's the next one:

There was a young man, son of Jove,
Who denied Venus's gal's love;

Got mixed up in drink,
But became the link

Between death's curse and life's flow.

-- Longhairandabeard 17:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Kacha. The gal is Devayani.--Dwaipayan (talk) 17:54, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Yup, you got it! -- Longhairandabeard 19:02, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Q20

Easy one to keep the quiz going. Identify this place, which is the assembly constituency of a chief minister and a location where one of the most successful Bollywood films has been shot? --Gurubrahma 04:56, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Marathwada--JasZZZ Talk · Sign here 09:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Nope, not what I was looking for. Could you also name the CM and the film? --Gurubrahma 10:35, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, could not resist again :( Ramanagaram. Film is Sholay, while chief ministers are 3! The latest being H.D. Kumaraswamy. source: Hindu article. I have to travel a lot next few days. Cannot post and follow a question. Could anyone please ask one question. I messed with the earlier question, too (could not ask one question). Sorry.--Dwaipayan (talk) 16:12, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes indeed, Dwaipayan gets it. The baton passes to whoever has either asked a question or answered a question correctly in this round. FCFS. --Gurubrahma 17:28, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Q21

A quick one. Friend of Subhas Bose, relative of Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyaya. A Sanskrit scholar. Name him.--Dwaipayan (talk) 19:52, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

"Deshobondhu" Chittranjan Das --Ragib 20:28, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Kshetresa_Chandra_Chattopadhyaya.Bakaman 02:38, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Yup, Baka got it. He happened to edit the article lately :) Anyway, it's your turn now, Baka.--Dwaipayan (talk) 05:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Q22

This Tamil politician is well-known for being a prominent critic of the LTTE.Bakaman 03:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Douglas Devananda.--Dwaipayan (talk) 06:09, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Not the one I'm thinking of (Douglas is from Lanka). The one I'm thinking of has a perhaps more religiously motivated reason (keep in mind the religions of Anton Balasingham, Douglas Devananda and Vellupillai Prabhakaran).Bakaman 02:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Subramaniam swamy? Kmanoj 06:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Veerasingham Anandasangaree??--Prasad den 20:31, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Kmanoj gets this one, I was thinking of Subramaniam swamy. Swamy is a conservative Hindu, and is opposed to Christians such as Bala and Prabha. As a refresher, this is the India quiz, so I would not pick a Sri Lankan Tamil as the answer.Bakaman 23:42, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Q23

Connect Mahatma Gandhi and Vijay Merchant -- Kmanoj 12:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

They are both from India.Bakaman 23:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
  • When Vijay Merchant's sister Laxmi asked for his autograph, Gandhi chose the page of her book containing the signatures of the 1933-34 M.C.C. team, selecting himself as its 17th member. [5]. "This is published in a small pamphlet on cricket written by Vijay Merchant". --Ragib 00:47, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Ragib got it right. :-) — [Unsigned comment added by Kmanoj (talkcontribs).]
Another connect I found from anecdotage.com is that Vijay Merchant refused to join the team in 1932 since many players were arrested for supporting Mahatma's non co-operation movement, though I am not sure abt the veracity of this info. Go ahead, Ragib. Whoever answers your question gets the right to ask the 500th question of this quiz. 500! Well done, every one. --Gurubrahma 06:06, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Q24

This was an event in late 19th century, which greatly changed parts of India, though resulted in comparatively low human casualty. A similar event would happen half a century later in the same region. What are the two events? --Ragib 07:46, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

A wild guess - 1897 Assam earthquake and 1950 Assam earthquake? --Gurubrahma 11:39, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Correct. The 1897 earthquake in the Assam valley was measured at more than 8 in the Richter scale. Though it didn't cause much damage in terms of human casualty (since there weren't many brick houses in the area), it did change the course of many rivers, making the Jamuna River the principal channel for Brahmaputra River. There was a similar earthquake in 1950. --Ragib 04:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Bengal PArtition in 1905 and later on India Partition in 1947 and at that time again BEngal Partitioned .

   user: Luckeychap  10:00 12 June 2007
No, I had mentioned the first event in late 19th century. The 1905 Bengal partition didn't really change anything greatly, let alone cause any human casualty. --Ragib 04:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Q25

Hooray, I get to ask the 500th question. Identify this person currently in (regional?) news. Spouse is currently in the union cabinet. Father-in-law was a CM and a son-in-law of this CM later became a CM. --Gurubrahma 06:59, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Daggubati Venkatewara Rao? --(Sumanth|Talk) 07:03, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Yes Sumanth, you are correct, it is Venkateswara Rao - he shd be having an article as he is an MLA. You get to start the first question in the next round. Please update the page with the correct leaderboard and archive this so that u can start the next round. Looking at the previous archives wd give u an idea in case u hv not done this before.
