Question

Choose the right matches :

(1) Artic Home of the Aryans - Balagangathara Thilagar

(2) Divine Right Theory - B.V. Kane

(3) Harivamsa - Kiratas

(4) Gana - Republic

The correct answer is

(1) and (4) are correct

Bal Gangadhar Tilak, in his book The Arctic Home in the Vedas, argued that the original home of the Aryans lay in the Arctic region. So the first pair is correct.

The term Gana in ancient Indian texts refers to the republican or oligarchic states (gana-sanghas) such as those of the Licchavis, so Gana - Republic is also correct.

B.V. Kane (P.V. Kane) is known for the History of Dharmasastra and not for propounding the Divine Right Theory, and the Harivamsa is an appendix of the Mahabharata dealing with the life of Krishna, not a work linked to the Kiratas. So the second and third pairs are wrong.

Hence, (1) and (4) are correct.
