Mariyam Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Only this remains unanswered: Bulla ki jaana main kaun quiz Identify this person. Clue 1 I'm a person of many achievements. Some of which include writing a treatise on the flora, fauna and birds at Bharatpur and inventing a musical instrument. Clue 2 My final resting place is in a complex that has a gumbad partly made of lapis lazuli. A railway station nearby is named after this complex. Clue 3 The mukhda of a famous song picturized on Mithun is from his bilingual poem. This is a huge clue. Koi shak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Just now, coffee_rules said: Kader Khan? Nope. I said he invented a musical instrument. Unless you count typical Pathan style flatulence, Kader Khan had no such skills. Stradlater and nevada 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clue 3 clearly points to Ghulami but I have no idea who wrote the poem that was referenced in the song. Mariyam and SK_IH 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariyam Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) @zen @Jimmy Cliff You guys guessed the song right. I expected @coffee_rules to guess the song too. The mukhda is from the Amir Khusrow poem Zihal e miskin makun taghafful Lines written in Persian and Brij bhasha alternately. The third clue made it very easy.

Mariyam Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Okay the last one for the day. This is related to the world of law. And something that I see as a source of immense pride. Name the American legislation. 1) In 1955 India, represented by a young Fali Nariman among others, fought a winning battle in a NY court so that India could be a part of this list as per the aforementioned legislation.

Mariyam Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Clue 2 The USA had refused to include India in the list because India was keen on either joining the USSR camp and/or wanted to create the NAM. The crux of Nariman's argument was that the US is not playing by its own rule book and extraneous factors were affecting India's exclusion from the list.

Mariyam Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 No answers? Clue 4 India became the first country to opt out of this program in 1990/1991. It was Fali Nariman who drafted the letter for exclusion. Till 2018 India was the only country to opt out. In 2018 a lot of East Asian nations also opted out.

Mariyam Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) Okay the answer is the PL 480 (Public Law 480) or the Food for Peace program. In 1955 India had to fight a legal battle to convince the USA to give us food in charity. In 1990/91 India opted out of this program and after a few years, started its own such program. Many African nations are the beneficiaries of this aid. Edited March 24, 2020 by Mariyam Stradlater 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
