Question 

Which present day Union territory has its colonial town divided into French town and Indian town ??

1.  Goa

2.  Daman and Diu

3.  Pondicherry 

4.   Andaman and Nicobar islands 

Answer 

Question was talking about colonial town which is now, an Union territory.

In the question it was said that it is divided into French Town and Indian town.

This means colonial power is  FRANCE   !!!

Now looking at the options,

Goa was the Portuguese colony.

Similarly Daman and Diu.

So Goa and Daman and Diu  are ruled out.!!!

Andaman and Nicobar islands were directly governed by  British.

Andaman and Nicobar islands are ruled out !!!

Remaining is Pondicherry or Puducherry.

It is also known as   "  Little France  " !!!

Puducherry has rich French colonial history and cultural influence.

Its architecture, cuisine and heritage still reflects French influence !!!

Puduchery was home to both native Indians and French nationals.

French people were not mingling with native Indians thinking that Indians are black.

A small water canal was seperating the houses.

That's why it was divided into French Town and Indian town.

Correct answer      PUDUCHERRY   !!!
