ID X, Y. Give context.
• The film Ek Dil Sau Afsane starred X and Y in titular roles. Inspite of a
stellar star cast, the film did not fare well at the box office. All in all, it
wasn’t a remarkable film in any aspect. It was therefore impossible
for anyone associated with the film to ever realise that it would
become so popular almost 54 years after its release.
• Why has it become so popular so suddenly?

• Technically, there is no provision for referendums in the Indian
constitution. That is one reason why experts dismissed Arvind
Kejriwal’s demand for a referendum on full statehood for Delhi. There
is however, one instance of a referendum in India that is sometimes
quoted as a precedent. Why was this referendum held?

Goa Opinion Poll, 1967
ID the place
• The discovery of Mica deposits in the region brought economic
prosperity to this village. With prosperity came new entertainment
sources like radio which became an instant hit in the region. People
used to send across multiple song requests to radio channels daily
just to hear their names. As the pastime became a passion for the
people of X, the name of their village became famous among Vividh
Bharti listeners across India. However, thanks to the town’s unusual
name and the humongous number of song requests it sent, many
listeners were sceptical about its existence. This led to the rise of use
of X’s name in pop culture.

ID X
• Khushwant Singh in his autobiography talks about X as being a “tall,
handsome Bihari who had an hour with Indira behind closed doors
every morning. Yoga lessons may have ended up with lessons from the
Kamasutra.”
• This apparent closeness between X and Indira Gandhi has been
covered by several biographers over the years with some even
claiming X for the death of Sanjay Gandhi.
• X’s proximity to Indira and his penchant for influence-peddling earned
him the sobriquet of “Indian Rasputin”.

Give the context of the story
• A lesser known story from the Mahabharata describes an incident
where Lord Krishna and Arjun see a farmer leading water to his fields.
In order to direct the flow, he needs a large stone. When he can’t find
any suitable stone, he cuts his son’s head with a sword and puts the
head to obstruct the flow of water. The father who was cutting and
the son whose head was being cut, do not have any emotions. Lord
Krishna on seeing this tells Arjun that the place was cursed and all
emotions had died in the place. What was the direct consequence of
this incident in the Mahabharata?

Back in the 1960s, a big Hollywood casting director called Harvey Wood
came and selected me for a ____'s role. Although I had done many
films before as hero and villain, I don't know why I found popularity
only as ______. I got a lot of acting assignments, but all as ______.
Twenty years later, I bumped into Harvey Wood again. He looked at me
and said, "Bloody hell! You're still in the same uniform." He asked me to
mail him the details of all my films as I was onto a world record for the
most occupational role. Later the Guinness book people sent a team to
Bombay to verify facts before they entered my name in their book.

Identify X & Y.
In 1930, India was swept over by Gandhi’s Satyagraha which had an
effect on football. Indian clubs boycotted the ongoing Calcutta Football
League midway through the season due to this. Amidst much
confusion, Royal Regiment was declared winners in the first division.
However, X, in spite of being well ahead in the second division, was not
allowed to be promoted to the First Division. They suspected Y’s hand
behind the league boycott to thwart X’s promotion to the First Division.
Thousands of X fans and officials decided to hold a protest march. It
was at this march that flaming torches were carried by the protestors.
This gave the club officials the idea of a torch being the club emblem,
which has stuck to this day.

Name this scheme.
The programme was introduced in a large scale in 1960s under the Chief
Ministership of Kamaraj. However, the first major thrust came in 1982 when
the then Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, Dr. M. G. Ramachandran, decided to
universalise the scheme for all children in government schools.
Although the programme in Tamil Nadu was initially termed as an act of
"populism", the success of the scheme made the project hugely popular. The
success was so spectacular that in 1995, the then Indian Finance minister
Manmohan Singh hailed the success of the project and suggested that the
scheme be implemented all over the country.

Id the shrine
The XY is the name of a Muslim shrine located in the Khanyaar quarter of the city of
Srinagar in Kashmir with the graves of two men. The word X means tomb, the word
Y means place, often a landing place by a lake, hence "place of the tomb." Locals
have traditionally referred to the main sage buried there as Yuzasaf, more recently
Yuz Asaf . The other man buried is Mir Sayyid Naseeruddin.
The shrine was relatively unknown until the founder of the Ahmadiyya Muslim
Community, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, claimed in 1899 that it is actually the tomb of
Jesus.

FITB and ID X
X had been fond of using voice-overs to establish themes. Nikaah, which dealt with
the laws of divorce in Muslim society, began with the image of a nude woman
taking up the centre of the screen, before a female voice began an extended
commentary on the many roles of a woman. The opening words were: “_______”.
The narrator in X’s Bahadur Shah Zafar, a personification of Delhi’s Red Fort, was
introduced itself in a familiar manner as “_____”.
When it came to decide upon the opening lines for this famous work of his, X again
followed the same formula and went with “________”. What was it?

This led to the rise of use of X’s name in pop culture.
