Daily subject-wise quiz: History and Culture MCQs on 50th anniversary of Sikkim, Tagore's words, and more (Week 113)
Are you preparing for UPSC CSE Prelims? UPSC Essentials brings to you its initiative of daily subject-wise quizzes. These quizzes are designed to help you revise some of the most important topics from the static part of the syllabus. Attempt today's subject quiz on History and Culture to check your progress. Consider the following treaties and conventions with reference to Sikkim's history: 1.. The Lhasa Convention 2. The Calcutta Convention 3. Treaty of Titaliya 4. Treaty of Tumlong Arrange the above historical events in the order they occurred, from earliest to latest: (a) 1-2-3-4 (b) 4-1-3-2 (c) 2-1-3-4 (d) 4-3-2-1 May 16 is annually commemorated as Sikkim Day, marking the former kingdom's integration with India in 1975. On its 50th anniversary, Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his greetings to the people of Sikkim on X, and said, 'Sikkim is associated with serene beauty, rich cultural traditions and industrious people. It has made strides in diverse sectors. May the people of this beautiful state continue to prosper.' Sikkim's history with the Chogyal royals The kingdom of Sikkim was established in 1642, when, according to one account, three Tibetan lamas consecrated Phuntsong Namgyal as the first ruler or Chogyal of Sikkim. The monarchy of the Namgyal dynasty was maintained for the next 333 years, until 1975. Sandwiched between India and China, and often party to conflicts over land with Bhutan and Nepal, the British colonisation of India first led to a semi-formal relationship between the two states. The British saw Sikkim as a buffer state against China and Nepal. Other official treaties followed: The treaty of Titaliya in 1817 gave the British authorities several commercial and political advantages in Sikkim. The Calcutta Convention of 1890 demarcated the border between Sikkim and Tibet, and was signed by Viceroy Lord Lansdowne and Qing China's Imperial Associate Resident in Tibet. The Lhasa Convention of 1904 affirmed the Calcutta Convention. Therefore, d is the correct answer. (For more, refer: On 50 years of Sikkim's integration with India, recalling the role of royals, political parties, The Indian Express.) To whom did Rabindranath Tagore write the words, 'Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live'? (a) Mahatma Gandhi (b) Leo Tolstoy (c) Bankimchandra Chatterjee (d) None of the above Tagore and Gandhi recognised the inadequacies of achieving freedom without a social and moral reckoning. A disproportionate focus on the coloniser, without a sincere engagement with the deep-rooted injustices within our own societies, impeded the realisation of a transformative present and future. In a letter to Aurobindo Mohan Bose, nephew of scientist Jagadish Chandra Bose, Tagore once wrote: 'Patriotism cannot be our final spiritual shelter; my refuge is humanity. I will not buy glass for the price of diamonds, and I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity as long as I live.' Therefore, d is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Rabindranath Tagore: I will never allow patriotism to triumph over humanity by Arko Dasgupta, The Indian Express.) Kaibartas or the Mahishyas are a farming community concentrated in which of the following states: (a) West Bengal (b) Himachal Pradesh (c) Tamil Nadu (d) Rajasthan Earlier known as Kaibartas, the Mahishyas are a farming community concentrated in the southern districts of West Bengal, predominantly, Midnapore, Howrah, and Hooghly. Believed to be the largest caste group in the state, Mahishyas began migrating to urban centres in the 19th century in search of better education and employment. In the early 2000s, a section of this community, known as Chasi Kaibartas, was granted the OBC status. However, the other section, which identifies itself as Mahishyas, was denied the same due to their educational qualification and material possessions. 'The truth is, many among the Mahishyas are economically backward and could benefit from reservation,' says Jana. Beyond the debate over OBC status, the community is also divided over their Aryan origin. Therefore, a is the correct answer. (For more, refer: The Mahishyas of Bengal: A caste in conflict by Nikita Mohta, The Indian Express) Who is the author of The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World? (a) Amitav Ghosh (b) William Dalrymple (c) Khushwant Singh (d) Ramachandra Guha The Golden Road: How Ancient India Transformed the World, is essentially about a sea route, written by William Dalrymple. Therefore, b is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Historian William Dalrymple at Idea Exchange: 'Failure of Indian academics to reach out to general audiences has allowed the growth of WhatsApp history') Whom did Jinnah call a 'Muslim Showboy' of the Congress? (a) Ashfaqulla Khan (b) Maulana Abul Kalam Azad (c) Dr. Zakir Husain (d) Rafi Ahmed Kidwai At a time Hindus and Muslims were increasingly divided and the Muslim League's separatist rhetoric was gaining ground, Maulana Azad's belief in communal harmony remained unshakeable. He argued that Indian Muslims could wear both identities — Indian and Muslim — proudly. This is perhaps best evident in a speech he gave at Ramgarh in 1940. ''I am a Musalman and proud of the fact. Islam's splendid traditions of 1,300 years are my inheritance. I am unwilling to lose even the smallest part of this inheritance. In addition, I am proud of being an Indian. I am part of the indivisible unity that is Indian nationality. I am indispensable to this noble edifice. Without me this splendid structure of India is incomplete. I am an essential element which has gone to build India. I can never surrender this claim,' Azad said. His views were a direct challenge to the communal politics of the Muslim League, and Jinnah grew increasingly displeased with him. In July 1940, Azad wrote to Jinnah about the League's views on 'any provisional arrangement not based on the two-nation scheme'. Jinnah hit back with: 'I refuse to discuss with you…you have completely forfeited the confidence of Muslim India. Can't you realise you are made a Muslim showboy Congress President to give it colour that it is national and deceive foreign countries. You represent neither Muslims not Hindus.' [Pak. Journal of Int'L Affairs, Vol 5, Issue 4 (2022)]. Ironically, Azad was a far more devout and practising Muslim than the anglicised Jinnah. Therefore, b is the correct answer. (For more, refer: National Education Day: 3 things to know about Maulana Azad, a 'proud Indian and Musalman', The Indian Express) Consider the following statements with reference to Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra: 1. It was commissioned by Qutbuddin Aibak, a slave-turned-general in the Ghurid army, who established the Mamluk Dynasty to kickstart the Delhi Sultanate in 1206. 2. It was commissioned after the Muhammad of Ghor defeated Prithviraj III (popularly known as Prithviraj Chauhan) in the Second Battle of Panipat. Which of the above given statements is/are true? (a) 1 only (b) 2 only (c) Both 1 and 2 (d) Neither 1 nor 2 The Ajmer mosque was commissioned by Qutbuddin Aibak, a slave-turned-general in the Ghurid army, who established the Mamluk Dynasty to kickstart the Delhi Sultanate in 1206. It was commissioned by Qutabuddin after the Muhammad of Ghor defeated Prithviraj III (popularly known as Prithviraj Chauhan) in the Second Battle of Tarain. The Afghan invader went on to sack Ajmer (then known as Ajaymeru), the capital of the Chauhan dynasty. Ajmer-based jurist Har Bilas Sarda wrote in Ajmer: Historical And Descriptive (1911) that during his short stay in the city, Muhammad of Ghor 'destroyed the pillars and foundations of the idol temples', and 'dismantled' Visaldeva's College, 'a portion of it converted into a mosque' known today as Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra. Sarda's book is the primary historical source cited by the petitioners in the Dargah Sharif survey petition. Therefore, a is the correct answer. (For more, refer: History of Ajmer's Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra, The Indian Express) The doctrines of Anekantavada and Syadavada are found in which religion? (a) Hinduism (b) Buddhism (c) Jainism (d) Bahá'í Faith The Jaina doctrine of anekantavada (manifold nature of reality) and syadavada (the doctrine of maybe) insists that reality cannot be grasped entirely as it is complex and has multiple aspects. Everything that exists has three aspects – substance (dravya), quality (guna), and mode (paryaya). Therefore, c is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Knowledge Nugget, The Indian Express) Jayant Narlikar, who passed away recently, was associated with which field? (a) Neurology (b) Indian Classical Music (c) Macroeconomics (d) Astrophysics Person in news: Jayant Narlikar (1938-2025) 'Big Bang is an exploding myth, read the sign outside his room. It was also a sort of theme song for the person inside. For Jayant Narlikar, the established theory about how the universe came into being, through a Big Bang about 13.8 billion years ago, was never really a settled issue. Narlikar, who had contributed immensely to the development of an alternative model of the universe along with his mentor Fred Hoyle, passed away Tuesday morning in Pune. He was 87. Ailing for some time, he had had a fall two weeks ago and had to be operated upon last week. One of the most celebrated Indian scientists, Narlikar, then a young researcher at Cambridge University in the UK, had attracted global recognition for his work on what is known as the steady-state theory of the universe, developed by Hoyle, in collaboration with Hermann Bondi and Thomas Gold. The Big Bang theory suggests that the universe has a definite beginning, and a possible end. In contrast, the steady state theory, which was the mainstream theory in the 1950s and 1960s, maintains that the universe has always been the way it is, without any beginning or an end.' (Amitabh Sinha in The Indian Express.) Therefore, d is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Jayant Narlikar (1938-2025): The North Star in Indian astrophysics, he was ahead of his time — and space, by Amitabh Sinha, The Indian Express) Subscribe to our UPSC newsletter and stay updated with the news cues from the past week.

Success Story: How Vibhor Bhardwaj From UP Village Used AI To Crack UPSC 2024
Last Updated: Vibhor Bhardwaj used AI tools like Google Gemini for mock interviews, which challenged him repeatedly, helping him spot and fix mistakes, sharpening his preparation significantly A young boy from Utrawali village in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district has made headlines by cracking one of India's toughest exams. Vibhor Bhardwaj, defying all odds, secured an impressive All India Rank (AIR) of 743 in the 2022 UPSC Civil Services Examination. However, his journey did not end there. When he appeared for the UPSC Civil Services Examination for the third time in 2024, he achieved an impressive AIR 19, thus transforming from a village boy to an IAS officer. Studied Physics From Delhi University Vibhor's journey began with his studies in Physics at Hansraj College, Delhi, where he completed an MSc. After mastering the demanding subject of Physics, he set his sights on the prestigious UPSC exam. Vibhor chose Physics as his optional subject and remarkably covered the entire UPSC Mains syllabus in just seven months using online coaching and self-made notes. How Did He Prepare Himself? For the UPSC CSE Prelims, Vibhor adopted a strategy akin to preparing for a T20 match. Starting in January, he focused on static portions, current affairs magazines, and daily news summaries. He meticulously scheduled mock tests, beginning with sectional tests and then full-length tests, and he treated past year UPSC question papers (PYQs) as essential guides. Despite securing AIR 743 in 2022 and reaching the interview stage in 2023, Vibhor did not make it to the final list. However, he analysed his weaknesses, refined his strategy, and succeeded in 2024 with an AIR of 19. Vibhor Bhardwaj's journey to success in the UPSC Civil Services Examination is a testament to resilience, determination, and strategic perseverance. After securing an All India Rank (AIR) of 743 in 2022, Vibhor set his sights on a top rank. Although he reached the interview stage in 2023, he did not make it to the final list. But giving up was never an option. Instead of backing down, Vibhor refined his approach, addressed his weaknesses, and sharpened his strategy. His persistence paid off in 2024 when he achieved an impressive AIR 19, making a mark in one of the country's most competitive examinations. First Published:

Are you preparing for UPSC CSE Prelims? UPSC Essentials brings to you its initiative of daily subject-wise quizzes. These quizzes are designed to help you revise some of the most important topics from the static part of the syllabus. Attempt today's subject quiz on History and Culture to check your progress. Consider the following statements about the Kumbakonam vetrilai: I. It was recently granted a Geographical Indication (GI) tag by the Government of India, recognising its regional uniqueness and cultural significance. II. It is staple in South Asian households and is central to preparing paan, a popular South Asian post-meal chew. III. Kumbakonam, situated in Tamil Nadu, is home to vethalai or vetrilai, predominantly grown in Thanjavur's fertile Cauvery river basin, giving it a unique taste and aroma. Which of the above given statements is/are true? (a) I and II only (b) I and III only (c) II and III only (d) I, II and III Explanation The Kumbakonam vetrilai or betel leaf or paan leaf was recently granted a Geographical Indication (GI) tag by the Government of India, recognising its regional uniqueness and cultural significance. A staple in South Asian households, the betel leaf is central to preparing paan, a popular South Asian post-meal chew. The GI tag, announced in April 2025, and published in the Government Gazette in November 2024, took Tamil Nadu's total GI products to 62. Yet, many cultivators, marginal farmers and sellers remain unaware of this recognition and the benefits that come with it. Kumbakonam, six hours from Chennai, is home to vethalai or vetrilai, predominantly grown in Thanjavur's fertile Cauvery river basin, giving it a unique taste and aroma. The dark to light green, oblong heart-shaped leaves with a pungent taste are cultivated, washed and then bundled in places like Thiruvaiyaru, Papanasam, Thiruvidaimarudur, Kumbakonam, and Rajagiri. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Kumbakonam vetrilai or betel leaf gets GI tag: Why cultivators, sellers need incentives and awareness to benefit by Jayashree Narayanan, The Indian Express.) I. After renouncing family life to pursue asceticism, Guru Nanak rejected both caste distinctions and Hindu idolatry, choosing a low-caste Hindu and a Muslim musician as companions to spread his spiritual message to the masses. II. Guru Angad Dev built a gurdwara in Amritsar known as Sri Harmandir Sahib. III. By the first quarter of the nineteenth century, a Sikh empire with an efficient army was formed under the leadership of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Which of the above given statements is/are true? (a) I and III only (b) II only (c) III only (d) I, II and III Explanation Sikhism, founded by Guru Nanak in the fifteenth century, is often considered one of the youngest religions in the world. After renouncing family life and pursuing asceticism, Guru Nanak took a low-caste Hindu and a Muslim musician as his companions to preach his experience to the masses. Guru Nanak's successors propagated his message. The fifth Guru, Guru Arjan Dev, built a gurdwara in Amritsar, Sri Harmandir Sahib, also known as Sri Darbar Sahib or Golden Temple. The Sikhs emerged as a powerful political and military force by the late eighteenth century. By the first quarter of the nineteenth century, a Sikh empire with an efficient army was formed under the leadership of Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Therefore, option (a) is the correct answer. (For more, refer: How caste permeated the Sikh community by Nikita Mohta, The Indian Express.) With reference to the Battle of Colachel, consider the following statement: I. The battle was fought against the Portuguese East India Company. II. It was the first time that an Asian kingdom had defeated a European power. Which of the above given statements is/are true?

The Battle of Colachel is of huge significance in the history of India and Asia. It was the first time that an Asian kingdom had defeated a European power. Not only were the Dutch forces decimated, but also their colonial ambitions in India stalled. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Battle of Colachel: How an accidental shot ended Dutch plans for India by Srijana Siri, The Indian Express) Which of the following temples is associated with King Lalitaditya Muktapida? (a) Parashurameshvara Temple (b) Martand Temple (c) Lingaraja Temple (d) Kandarya Mahadeva Temple Explanation The Martand Temple was built by the Karkota dynasty king Lalitaditya Muktapida, who ruled Kashmir from 725 AD to 753 AD. Although some historians believe that an earlier temple existed here and was incorporated into Lalitaditya's grander structure, others credit Lalitaditya entirely for it. Lalitaditya built his capital at Parihaspora, the ruins of which also survive to this day. Therefore, option (b) is the correct answer. (For more, refer: Early history of Kashmir and Martand Temple by Manas Srivastava, The Indian Express) With which of the following events in the history of Modern India is Kanaklata Barua associated? (a) 1857 Revolt (b) Swadeshi Movement (c) Foundation of Indian National Congress (d) Quit India Movement Explanation One of the youngest martyrs of the Quit India Movement, Kanaklata Barua has an iconic status in Assam. Barua, then 17, led the Mrityu Bahini, a procession of freedom fighters, to unfurl the Tricolour at Gohpur police station on September 20, 1942. When police did not let them move forward, an altercation led to firing, killing Barua at the head of the procession. Therefore, option (d) is the correct answer.
