With reference to Madanapalle of Andhra Pradesh, which one of the following statements is correct?
A
Pingali Venkayya designed the tricolour Indian National Flag here.
B
Pattabhi Sitaramaiah led the Quit India Movement of Andhra region from here.
C
Rabindranath Tagore translated the National Anthem from Bengali to English here.
Correct Answer
D
Madame Blavatsky and Colonel Olcott set up headquarters of Theosophical Society first here.
Explanation
Option (c) is correct because Rabindranath Tagore translated the National Anthem from Bengali to English as "The Morning Song of India" in 1919 while staying at Besant Theosophical College in Madanapalle. Option (d) is a common distractor because while the town has strong Theosophical links, the society’s headquarters were actually established in Adyar, Madras. The core concept tested is the association of prominent Indian personalities and cultural milestones with specific historical locations.
