Question : 1

a) Sitar and Flute
b) Veena and Tabla
c) Tanpura and Mridang
d) Rabab and Sarangi
Answer »Answer: (d)
The Turkish brought with them musical instruments Rabab and Sarangi. During this time, the music of North India began to acquire and adapt to the presence of Persian language, music, and musical instruments, such as the Setar, from which the Sitar got its name;
the Kemancheh and Santur, which became popular in Kashmir; and the Rabab [alternately known as Rebab and Rubab], which preceded the Sarod. New instruments were introduced, including the Tabla and Sitar.
Question : 2

a) Aphasad
b) Basarh
c) Chandimau
d) Antichak
Answer »Answer: (d)
Vikramshila Mahavihara was one of the two most important centres of Buddhist learning in India during the Pala dynasty.
Established by King Dharmapala (783 to 820 CE), it is located about 50 km east of Bhagalpur and about 13 km north-east of Kahalgaon railway station on Bhagalpur-Sahebganj section of eastern railway.
The area is under the protected jurisdiction of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).
Question : 3
Consider the following statements and select the correct answer from the codes given below:
- Assertion (A): The Chinese traveller Fa-Hien visited India in the reign of Chandragupta-II.
- Reason (R): Fa-Hien describes Chandragupta as ruling over his empire from his capital Patliputra.
a) Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
b) A is false, but R is true
c) Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
d) A is true, but R is false
Answer »Answer: (d)
The Chinese traveller Fa-Hein visited India in the reign of Chandragupta-II. The Chinese Buddhist pilgrim Fa-Hein, who spent six years (405–411) in India during Chandragupta II’s reign, spoke highly of the system of government, the means for dispensing charity and medicine (the emperor maintained free rest houses and hospitals), and the goodwill of the people.
But he never visited the emperor or his court. Chandragupta II was a devout Hindu, but he also tolerated the Buddhist and Jain religions.
The court of Chandragupta was made even more illustrious by the fact that it was graced by the Navaratna (nine jewels), a group of nine who excelled in the literary arts. Amongst these men was the immortal Kalidasa whose works dwarfed the works of many other literary geniuses, not only in his own age but in the ages to come.
Kalidasa was particularly known for his fine exploitation of the shringara (romantic) element in his verse.
Question : 4
The Chola rulers were generally
a) Vaisnavites
b) Worshippers of Mother goddess
c) Worshippers of Kartikeya
d) Saivites
Answer »Answer: (d)
The Chola rulers were generally Saivites. Among the existing specimens in museums around the world and in the temples of South India may be seen many fine figures of Shiva in various forms, such as Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi, and the Saivaite saints.
Though conforming generally to the iconographic conventions established by long tradition, the sculptors worked with great freedom in the 11th and the 12th centuries to achieve a classic grace and grandeur. The best example of this can be seen in the form of Nataraja the Divine Dancer.
Question : 5
Who established Nalanda University?
a) Chandragupta II
b) Kumargupta
c) Skandgupta
d) Chandragupta I
Answer »Answer: (b)
Kumargupta established Nalanda University. Nalanda flourished between the reign of the Sakraditya (whose identity is uncertain and who might have been either Kumargupta I or Kumargupta II) and 1197 AD, supported by patronage from the Hindugupta rulers as well as Buddhist emperors like Harsha and later emperors from the Pala empire.
Question : 6
Which of the following was not composed by Harshavardhana?
a) Ratnavali
b) Priyadarshika
c) Nagananda
d) Harshacharita
Answer »Answer: (d)
Harshacharita was not composed by Harshavardhana. The Harshacharita ranks as the first historical biography in Sanskrit although it is written in a florid and fanciful style. Bana’s detailed and vivid descriptions of rural India’s natural environment, as well as the extraordinary industry of the Indian people, exudes the vitality of life at that time.
Since he received the patronage of the emperor Harsha, his descriptions of his patron are not an unbiased appraisal and present the emperor’s actions in an overly favourable light.
