'The Brihadisvara temple at Tanjavur marks the greatest achievement of the Chola architects. Known in the inscriptions as Dakshina Meru, the construction of this temple was inaugurated by the Chola King, Rajaraja I (985-1012 CE) possibly in the 19th regal year (1003-1004 CE) and consecrated by his own hands in the 25th regal year (1009-1010 CE).'

In the absence of male successors, they initiated a matrilineal reign from 1819, which continued till 1926. These rulers are often referred to as the Begums of Bhopal. The last Begum of Bhopal was Begum Sultan Jahan. She ruled from 1909 to 1926 after which she stepped down and was succeeded by her son. Apart from being a philanthropist and prolific writer, she was a symbol of women empowerment, known for taking up the cause of female education. She was the first female Chancellor of Aligarh Muslim University, which she had nurtured during its nascent stage, when it was still known as the Mohammadan Anglo Oriental College. Born in 1858, Begum Sultan Jahan ascended the throne in 1901. While she was the fourth female ruler of Bhopal, she is credited with many firsts. She was a pioneer in the field of education and even authored a book, Dars-e-Hayat, about the education and parenting of young girls. There was a time when almost every city of the country had one or more educational institutes for girls which were funded by Begum Sultan Jahan. Following in her footsteps, her son Hamidullah Khan, who studied in Aligarh, founded a Science College in the city, and donated Rs two lakh to it. Therefore, c is the correct answer. (For more, refer:The last Begum of Bhopal: How Begum Sultan Jahan fought patriarchy and educated a generation of women, IE) Consider the following statements: 1. It is a temple located on the eastern shores of the Indian subcontinent. was built in the 13th century by Narasimhadeva I. 3. Its chief architect was Bisu Moharana. 4.

(a) Kakatiya Rudreshwara (Ramappa) Temple (b) Sun Temple (c) Jagannath Temple (d) Mahabodhi Temple According to The Sun Temple at Konarak, located on the eastern shores of the Indian subcontinent, is one of the outstanding examples of temple architecture and art as revealed in its conception, scale and proportion, and in the sublime narrative strength of its sculptural embellishment. The Sun Temple is an exceptional testimony, in physical form, to the 13th-century Hindu Kingdom of Orissa, under the reign of Narasimha Deva I (AD 1238-1264). It is associated with all the legends of its own artistic creation – the most evocative being its construction over twelve years using 1,200 artisans – and the stories about the deep commitment of its master builder, Bisu Moharana, to the project, in which his son (who was born during this period) later became involved. Therefore, b is the correct answer. (For more, refer: 'Sadir attam' refers to: (a) the name of a plant found in ancient Tamil texts (b) classical instruments played along with Mohiniyattam (c) ancient Indian dance book (d) none of the above According to 'Most classical dance forms of India which are strictly based on Natya Shastra, originated from within temple complexes.

The king of Taxila surrendered to Alexander, but beyond the Jhelum he was challenged by the legendary warrior, in the battle of Hydaspes, whom Greek sources have identified as Porus. 2. Alexander defeated Porus, but allowed him to retain his kingdom and left him in charge of Punjab when the Greek army eventually retreated. Which of the above mentioned statements is/are correct? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 Alexander's Indian campaign Alexander was born in 356 BC at Pella in ancient Greece, and succeeded his father, king Phillip II, to the throne at the age of 20. Over the next 10 years, Alexander led campaigns across large parts of West Asia and North Africa. In 330 BC, he defeated Darius III in the decisive battle of Gaugamela, and after a long campaign in Bactria in the region of the Amu Darya north of today's Afghanistan, he crossed the Hindu Kush and entered the Kabul valley. In 327 BC, Alexander crossed the Indus, the farthest frontier of the old Persian empire, and began his Indian campaign that lasted about two years. The king of Taxila surrendered to Alexander, but beyond the Jhelum he was challenged by the legendary warrior whom Greek sources have identified as Porus. In the battle of Hydaspes that followed, Alexander won, but following his famous interview with Porus — during which the wounded king is said to have demanded that the invading emperor treat him 'as befits a king' — was impressed enough to return to the captive Porus his kingdom, and to leave him in charge of Punjab when the Greek army ultimately retreated. Therefore, c is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Alexander and Chandragupta Maurya: A short history of war, empire, and greatness, IE) With reference to the sources related to the life of Chandragupta Maurya,consider the following statements: and Brahmanical texts differ regarding Chandragupta Maurya's clan. and Indian sources disagree on the point that Chandragupta Maurya overthrew the unpopular last Nanda king, Dhana Nanda, and seized his capital, Pataliputra.

The young warrior is said to have been a protege of the Brahmin philosopher Kautilya who, having been insulted by the Nanda king, bore a grudge against him. Buddhist texts say Chandragupta Maurya belonged to the kshatriya Moriya clan associated with the Shakyas. Brahmanical texts, however, refer to the Mauryas as shudras and heretics. Guided by the guile and strategy of Kautilya and by his own great military prowess, Chandragupta went about fulfilling his imperial ambitions. Once he had established his mastery over the plains of the Ganga, he moved north-west to occupy the power vacuum left by the retreat of Alexander's army. Therefore, a is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Alexander and Chandragupta Maurya: A short history of war, empire, and greatness, IE ) 'Ryndia', which has secured the Geographical Indication (GI) tag, belongs to which state? (a) Sikkim (b) West Bengal (c) Meghalaya (d) Mizoram Ryndia Textile (Handicraft) from Meghalaya has secured the Geographical Indication (GI) tag recently. Therefore, c is the correct answer.

(a) 1-2-3 (b) 2-3-1 (c) 3-2-1 (d) 3-1-2 In 330 BC, Alexander defeated Darius III in the decisive battle of Gaugamela, and after a long campaign in Bactria in the region of the Amu Darya north of today's Afghanistan, he crossed the Hindu Kush and entered the Kabul valley. Lachit Barphukan, the great Ahom general, inflicted humiliating defeat on the mighty Mughal army in the Battle of Saraighat in 1671, bringing the curtain down on the last major attempt by the Mughals to take Assam. The Battle of Karnal, on February 24, 1739, saw Persian emperor Nadir Shah handing a crushing defeat to the forces of Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah Rangila, effectively ending Mughal power in India.
