Rivalry between which two countries ??

 This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.



Question 


" The Great Game " was the term used to denote geopolitical rivalry in central Asia between which 2 countries  ??


1.  Britain and Russia 


2.  Britain and Germany 


3.  Germany and France 


4.  Russia and Turkiye 



Answer 


When this question flashed on TV screen, I remembered USA and Iran which are still fighting in Central Asia  !!!


I didn't have any idea about this.


Correct Answer   BRITAIN and RUSSIA   !!!


The rivalry was between British empire and Russian empire for more than 90  years  !!!


Why they fought ??


British were ruling India. They were scared that Russia would come South and attack India through Afghanistan.


At that time, Russia was growing bigger and wanted more land in Asia  !!!  


In the middle was Afghanistan  !!!   Both British and Russians wanted to  control it as a buffer.


It was NOT A DIRECT WAR   !!!


It was spies, explorers, bribing local kings etc.


It got ended in 1907 when both became friends to stop Germany    !!!

Which of these is not the name ??

 This question was asked on Koun Banega Karodpati program.


Question 


Which of these is not the name of the craters on planet Mercury  ??


1.  Vyasa


2.  Kalidas


3.  Somdev


4. Valmiki



Answer 


I was very surprised to know the Indian names for craters on planet Mercury   !!!


I have gathered some information .


It is the International Astronomical Union decision  !!!


It says   Every Crater on Mercury must be named after a famous artist, composer or writer who was famous for more than 50 years.


No astronaut or scientist  !!!


To make it truly international, they picked great contributors from every civilization.


So Indian names easily qualified   !!!


It's just about honouring human culture, not putting flags on a planet !!!


There are 9 craters on planet Mercury by Indian names.  They are  -----


1.  Verma


2.  Surdas


3.   Shergil


4.  Ashwagosha


5. Valmiki


6.  Thakur


7 .  Tansen


8.   Tyagaraja


9.  Kalidasa


According to this chart, all the famous Indian artists and writers are included  !!!


Whatever the options given in the question, vyasa and somdev names have not been kept to craters.


But Vyasa was the one who wrote Mahabharata.


They may keep this name in coming days  !!!


But Somdev is not the name of any Indian writer or artist !!!


So, correct answer     SOMDEV     !!!
