regional kings, the Raja of Koch Bihar and the Maharaja
of Rangpur.As far as historical records are concerned,
the little territories were apparently the result of a

any country and have no voting rights and are deprived

32. Identify X.
• A geographical indication (GI) is a name or sign used on certain
products which corresponds to a specific geographical location.
• In 2009, an application was submitted before the Geographical
Indication Registry seeking the GI tag for ‘X’ by a temple trust. They
claimed that the growing demand for ‘X’ had resulted in hawkers
preparing and selling the item at their own premises under the name
of 'X'.
• However locals argued that GIs are meant to benefit a community of
local producers and everyone from that place should have the right to
use GI on 'X', as long as their product geographically originates from
that place and has the same delicacy and features attributable to the
product that is prepared by the temple trust.
• Finally 'X' got GI tag which entitles only the temple trust to make or sell
it. Identify X and the temple (No part points).
