Welcome to the '''India quiz'''. The quiz is a general knowledge quiz centred around [[India]] that any registered [[Wikipedian]] can enter. It is run as a friendly competition to test and improve your knowledge of [[India]]. Most importantly, it's supposed to be fun. The questions and answers would be condensed in the form of "Did you know..." facts on [[Portal:India]] to be updated once or twice a week. Also, the relevant articles that get quoted in these quiz questions would hopefully get a face-lift with increased attention as a result of the questions.

Welcome to the '''India quiz'''. The quiz is a general knowledge quiz centred on [[India]] that any [[Wikipedia:username|registered]] [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] can enter. It is run as a friendly competition to test and improve your knowledge of India. Most importantly, it's supposed to be fun. The questions and answers would be condensed in the form of "Did you know..." facts on [[Portal:India]] to be updated once or twice a week. Also, the relevant articles that get quoted in these quiz questions would hopefully get a face-lift with increased attention as a result of the questions.

===Rules===

# All questions '''must''' have an India-related theme or India-related connection.

#Anyone can ''answer'' a quiz question, but to ''ask'' a question you must first earn the right by being the first person to answer the previous one correctly. If the current question is still open and you think you know the answer, post your answer below and wait for an adjudication from the person who placed the question. Remember to sign your post with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.

# Any registered Wikipedian can ''answer'' a quiz question, but to ''ask'' a question you must first earn the right by being the first person to answer the previous one correctly. If the current question is still open and you think you know the answer, post your answer below and wait for an adjudication from the person who placed the question. Remember to sign your post with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.

#If you are the first person to post the correct answer, the ''asker'' will post a message below your answer confirming you gave the correct response.

# If you are the first person to post the correct answer, the ''asker'' will post a message below your answer confirming you gave the correct response.

#You now have the baton and 24 hours to post a new question. If a new question is not posted by you within that time limit, the asker can post a new question in lieu of yourself.

# You now have the baton and 24 hours to post a new question. If a new question is not posted by you within that time limit, the previous asker can post a new question in lieu of yourself.

# If the baton holder and previous asker fails to ask the question within 2 days (48 hours), any wikipedian can ask the question on his/her behalf. The original baton holder should not attempt the question asked on his/her behalf.

# If a question remains unanswered for more than 10 days, any Wikipedian can replace the question with a simpler one.

# When 25 questions have been asked, a '''round''' is over. The leader on the answer tally at the end of each round is declared the winner of the round. The questions asked during the round are archived.

# The leader-tally then resets with all users back to zero to begin the next round, with the user that answered the last question of the previous round asking the first question of the present round.

# To archive the page at the end of each round, see the '''[[/archive rules|archiving rules]]'''.

===Question guidelines===

#If you're findingfind that no-one canis able to get the answer to your question, consider offering clues or replacing your question with an easier one. The aim is to keep the quiz moving.

#Questioners should try to offer at least one hint every 2 days whether or not the question has been attempted.

#The aim of giving a hint is to make it easier for participants to answer the question. Therefore, hints or clues should narrow down the question or throw more light on the question rather than complicating it. Hints should not take the form of questions/riddles.

#Remember that you may have an international audience. Keep quiz questions relevant to India in some way.

:Are you sure of this? The only mutiny I can think of was in 1857 and the only writer I can think of is Taj (Mughal-e-azam) but he stayed on in Pakistan. Y, I assume, is Anarkali. I hope I'm wrong because I can't possibly come up with a question! [[User:RegentsPark|regentspark]] <small>([[User talk:RegentsPark|comment]])</small> 21:09, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

==== Q 57.6 ====

{{qmark}} Once some angels came to Sage Vashishta's ashram. Wife of one of them desired to acquire Vashishta's divine cow. Her husband kidnapped the cow and other angels helped to cover up the crime. When Vashishta got to know about it, he cursed all the seven angels that they'll be born as humans. Angels returned the cow and pleaded Vashishta. Vashishta modified the curse as "''those who just helped in the crime will be freed from the human life just after they born but the perpetrator (husband) will live a longer life and that too without a spouse. However he will be remembered as a man of high moral values.''"

What was the name of the cow and the name of husband's human form? and how other angels were freed from their human form? --[[User:Ritwik.m07|Ritwik.m07]] ([[User talk:Ritwik.m07|talk]]) 06:51, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

You are absolutely correct in your interpretations, but still haven't identified the subject.

A royal princess came to Delhi with her son and daughter. With nowhere to go she had to sleep on the railway station. Indira Gandhi got to know about her plight and she was allotted a palace in Delhi. But it was nothing like a palace since it was long abandoned and became home to snakes and wild animals. The princess died there and her children had to burn her body to save it from grave robbers. The "palace" is located at a prominent place in Delhi. Apparently the children still lives there in a reclusive lifestyle. Where is this palace? ----[[User:Ritwik.m07|Ritwik.m07]] ([[User talk:Ritwik.m07|talk]]) 18:58, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

I believe my answer is correct - so, the next question to keep the quiz going. Again, something that cannot be googled easily - what connects [[M. S. Swaminathan]], [[Verghese Kurien]] and [[Raja Ramanna]], the men behind the green, white and nuclear revolutions of India? --[[User:Gurubrahma|Gurubrahma]] 12:30, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

:Well I found two connects. Firstly all three of them have won [[Padma Shri]], [[Padma Vibhushan]] and [[Padma Bhushan]] awards. Secondly they were all born in the 1920's. All info from respective pages only.--[[User:Raghu.kuttan|Raghu]] 13:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

::I am amazed - I thought it will be a while before people can get the Padma connect - that was what I was looking for. Hope people will use the Padma categories regularly ;) - over to you, Raghu. --[[User:Gurubrahma|Gurubrahma]] 15:16, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
