008 Quiz on Indian Epics


Our Hindutva brothers strongly not only believe that they are the sold Custodians of Indian Culture and Indian Beliefs, but also they are wholly convinced that they know everything what their Epics contain. I do not want to name the Greatest among them. But, the list includes Monks (Swamijis), Prime Ministers, IAS and IPS Officials. Judges, the Creamy-Elites of Indian Society. My only prayer to them is, before taking up any position over mikes, social Media platforms, that they have a moral duty to check facts. There is a verse "yadyad Acarati sREshTha..." which means that whatever Great People do, others will follow suit. Thus, there will be Crowds everywhere orating and canvassing their beliefs.

Here is a 10 Multiple Choice Questions quiz on Indian Epics, which can be clicked online. The Quiz also gives scores. Those who do not want to click, they can check answers by moving their mouse at the end of each question, on the 'dot' (full stop).

Those who want 'proof verses', they can check the Epic Mahabharata and Scripture Mahabhagavata.
