Politics Ka Gutter

The elections of the world's largest democracy are on. So in celebration of that presenting a quiz on Indian politics...
1... The logo below represents a company which is syonymous with elections in India. What is the significance of this company.

Ans...MPVL is mysore paints and varnish ltd and Specialists in manufacturing & supply of indelible ink (voter's ink) used in elections in India since 1962.


2...Bollywood and Politics arent just recent playmates, theres a bond between them right from the Nehru days. In his time there was a prodigal politician who was immensely popular with the crowds. To beat his charisma Nehru used one of the biggest superstar of that era Balraj Sahni to campaign against him. This was the earliest case of someone from the glam industry coming out to endorse a certain political party. Who was he campaigning against???

Ans...Atal Behari Vajpayee


3...This movie was about how two warring countries "Jan Gana Mana" & "Andher Nagri" are governed by corrupt politicians and leading the countries to hell. The general public was brilliantly symbolised as a Mute girl named "Janata". The movie even today makes a lot of sense because it was a high profile lady in da movie who made a lesser known man as the PM of the country so that she could handle the governance in a proxy manner. This movie was so hard hitting that it was banned from screening and all the prints were confiscated. the movie finally was released on TV during the late 1990's. Which movie am I talking about.

Ans...Kissa Kursi Ka.


4...After the assasination of Indira Gandhi the country was swept by a sympathy wave for the Congress and Congrees won the subsequent elections under Rajiv Gandhi with a landslide margin. Their seat count at the end of results was a humongous 402. It was an election where even seasoned politicians like Vajpayee also lost by huge margins. However there was one party which was less than a year old at that time which won the 2nd highest number of seats and almost whitewashed Congress in congress stronghold state. Which party, led by whom or the state. Any answer is gud enough.

Ans...Its NTR led Telugu Desam Party. I expect something similar with Prajarajyam this time around.


5... Explain the controversy regarding this movie.

Ans...Aandhi. Suchitra Sen's character was rumoured to be based upon Indira Gandhi. A theatre publicised the movie with the line, “See the Prime Minister of India.” Filmfare published a photograph of that theatre and a controversy erupted. The Emergency was on and the movie was banned in its 23rd week.

7...Connect the two flags.


Ans...Azad Hind Fauj(Indian National Army) and Forward Bloc. Both were formed by Netaji Subhash Bose.

Ans...He is Chirag Paswan, Son of Ram Vilas Paswan

9...He was one the select few politicians in India who have won elections in constituencies other than their own states. He not only won the elections but won it with the single largest margin ever in Indian history. Who was the politico n what was the constituency.
Ans...PV Narasimha Rao won by a margin of over 6 lakh votes from Berhampur(Orissa)

10...The above person broke the record of another famous personality who percentage wise still holds the record for the biggest vote share in a constituency. What was really commendable, is that he was a first timer pitted against a incumbent chief minister and won almost 65% of the votes. Name the person.
