Wednesday Trivia #21: Apr 11, 2012
by charvaka Tue Apr 10, 2012 6:20 pm
Thanks to Indophile for pitching in the last two weeks. I am posting this week's trivia a little early as I need to head out for the evening. As always, please no googling.
1. A trademark gets genericized when people begin using the trademarked name to refer to the underlying activity even when performed with a competitor's product (e.g. “xeroxing” a document to mean photocopying it regardless of which copier is used, “googling” something to mean searching for it online even on Yahoo! or Bing, etc.) A popular Indian English term is a genericized trademark that is used to refer to a very specific part of an automobile, although the trademark holder no longer makes the part for any Indian car. The trademark itself was named after a street in the town of Lllanelli in Wales, where the part was invented. What is this word?
2. Two brothers, Damarla Venkatappa and Damarla Ayyappa, who were subjects of the Raja of Chandragiri, gave permission to an English merchant to build a fort on their territory in 1639. That fort became the nucleus of a major city. Because the brothers forbade the Europeans from using any color other than white to decorate their homes (and likely because of the skin color of the occupants), the European quarter of the city became known as White Town. Centuries later, the city’s name changed; ironically, its current name is derived from the name of the father of the two brothers. Name the city that the Damarla brothers helped the British found.
3. Born in 1901, he studied sanitary engineering. He quit his cushy job with railways in 1930 to join Gandhi’s salt satyagraha and worked with Gandhi at Sabarmati Ashram. When independence was around the corner, he performed satyagraha in 1946 to force open all temples in the Madras presidency to Dalits. Congress workers who were more focused on impending freedom urged him to cease and desist, but he pressed on. Gandhi had to intervene to get him to quit; Gandhi later wrote about him: “I know he is a solid worker, though a little eccentric.” This forgotten man had a profound influence on the history of modern India. According to Ramachandra Guha: “if Jawaharlal Nehru was the Maker of Modern India, then perhaps ______ should be named its Mercator.” Name this man and his accomplishment.
4. The golden age in the history of this city was between the 14th and 16th centuries, when it was a key hub in the trans-Saharan trade network. Over the centuries, the city changed hands from the Mali Empire to the Tuaregs to the Songhai Empire to the Moroccans to the French to the modern nation of Mali – and in late-breaking news, Tuareg secessionists are now in control. The city now has a population of just 50,000 but in its heyday it attracted visitors like Ibn Battuta and Leo Africanus. It is claimed that salt used to fetch its weight in gold in this city that was known for its riches. Located on the bend of the river Niger where it runs north through the Sahara before turning south into Nigeria, the name of this city evokes “distant” or “outlandish” in many European and Indian languages. Name this city.
5. The formal name of this place of worship translates to “Temple of God”. It is the holiest shrine for its faith, and it is located in the middle of a small lake. The original name of the lake has now become the name of the entire city where the shrine is located. Apart from the spiritual place of worship, the shrine is also home to a seat of temporal political authority whose formal name translates to “The Seat of God.” Name this shrine and the city is it located in.
6. A famous Indian filmmaker said this: “The ingredients of the average Hindi film are well known; colour (Eastman preferred); songs (six or seven) in voices one knows and trusts; dance – solo and ensemble – the more frenzied the better; bad girl, good girl, bad guy, good guy, romance (but no kisses); tears, guffaws, fights, chases, melodrama; characters that exist in a social vacuum; dwellings which do not exist outside the studio floor… see any three Hindi films, and two will have all the ingredients listed above.” Name him.
7. This plant native to the Indian subcontinent is botanically classified as a berry, with numerous small, soft seeds. The plant is a close relative of tobacco, and its fruit contain the highest levels of nicotine of any edible fruit. It is thought to have been introduced to the the western world only in the 2nd millennium CE by the Arabs who brought it to Moorish Spain. It has at least three widely used names just in the English language – one each in Britain, North America and India. Many varieties of this plant are grown around the world, with fruit ranging widely in shape and size. Name this essential ingredient of cuisines from Spain to Japan.
8. The first major naval defeat of a European power by an Asian navy came in 1904 when Japan defeated Russia. Prior to the 20th century, there was just one documented instance of an Asian power defeating a European power in a naval battle. The defeated European power was the Dutch East India Company, whose fleet was sunk by the forces of a southern Indian state. Name this southern Indian state. (The state does not exist as a political entity today; I am looking the name of the old state.)
9. This Cambridge-educated Indian scientist and statistician was also a polyglot and an expert on Hindu philosophy and Bengali literature. In his primary discipline of statistics, he is best remembered for introducing a measure for the similarity of an unknown sample set to a known sample set. That measure is now named after him. He established India’s preeminent institution for statistical research. After independence, he was instrumental in designing the National Sample Surveys that are the underpinning of all income and consumption studies in India, and established the Central Statistical Organization. His most prominent role was as the architect of India’s Second Five-Year Plan, a task he performed at the express request of Nehru. Name this statistician.
10. When public sector employee unions in India negotiate wages with the various governments, one of the most important items on the table is DA. The term dates back to a time before the current popular name for the phenomenon it addresses became widely known. What does DA stand for, and what phenomenon does it seek to address?

3. Born in 1901, he studied sanitary engineering. He quit his cushy job with railways in 1930 to join Gandhi’s salt satyagraha and worked with Gandhi at Sabarmati Ashram. When independence was around the corner, he performed satyagraha in 1946 to force open all temples in the Madras presidency to Dalits. Congress workers who were more focused on impending freedom urged him to cease and desist, but he pressed on. Gandhi had to intervene to get him to quit; Gandhi later wrote about him: “I know he is a solid worker, though a little eccentric.” This forgotten man had a profound influence on the history of modern India. According to Ramachandra Guha: “if Jawaharlal Nehru was the Maker of Modern India, then perhaps ______ should be named its Mercator.” Name this man and his accomplishment.
Hint: Focus on Mercator as map-maker. This man's efforts ultimately resulted in the modern political map of India.

No, it is Potti Sriramulu. Were you looking up Marthanda Varma's war with the Dutch? Sir CP used it to try and build a case with his people for independence, per Guha.Kris wrote:>Sir CP Ramaswamy Iyer?

>>No, I was looking at the Varma family history. My older brother is married into a Varma family, although they may not be that closely related. I did have an interaction on a property transaction with a direct relative of the family once (the deal didn't happen, but the guy, an older gent, was absolutely classy. He was surprised I knew about MV)

Here are the answers.
1. A trademark gets genericized when people begin using the trademarked name to refer to the underlying activity even when performed with a competitor's product (e.g. “xeroxing” a document to mean photocopying it regardless of which copier is used, “googling” something to mean searching for it online even on Yahoo! or Bing, etc.) A popular Indian English term is a genericized trademark that is used to refer to a very specific part of an automobile, although the trademark holder no longer makes the part for any Indian car. The trademark itself was named after a street in the town of Lllanelli in Wales, where the part was invented. What is this word?
Answer: Stepney for spare wheel. The spare wheel was invented by Walter and Tom Davies in Llanelli, Wales. Their company was called Stepney Ironmongers because it was located on Stepney Street in that town.
2. Two brothers, Damarla Venkatappa and Damarla Ayyappa, who were subjects of the Raja of Chandragiri, gave permission to an English merchant to build a fort on their territory in 1639. That fort became the nucleus of a major city. Because the brothers forbade the Europeans from using any color other than white to decorate their homes (and likely because of the skin color of the occupants), the European quarter of the city became known as White Town. Centuries later, the city’s name changed; ironically, its current name is derived from the name of the father of the two brothers. Name the city that the Damarla brothers helped the British found.
Answer: Chennai. Their father's name was Damarla Chennappa, and they wanted the British to call their city Chennappapatnam, which is how the city became known in Telugu and Tamil. Over time, the name got shortened to Chennai.
3. Born in 1901, he studied sanitary engineering. He quit his cushy job with railways in 1930 to join Gandhi’s salt satyagraha and worked with Gandhi at Sabarmati Ashram. When independence was around the corner, he performed satyagraha in 1946 to force open all temples in the Madras presidency to Dalits. Congress workers who were more focused on impending freedom urged him to cease and desist, but he pressed on. Gandhi had to intervene to get him to quit; Gandhi later wrote about him: “I know he is a solid worker, though a little eccentric.” This forgotten man had a profound influence on the history of modern India. According to Ramachandra Guha: “if Jawaharlal Nehru was the Maker of Modern India, then perhaps ______ should be named its Mercator.” Name this man and his accomplishment.
Answer: Potti Sriramulu, whose 58-day fast-unto-death resulted in the creation of Andhra state, and eventually the complete reorganization of India's states on linguistic lines.
4. The golden age in the history of this city was between the 14th and 16th centuries, when it was a key hub in the trans-Saharan trade network. Over the centuries, the city changed hands from the Mali Empire to the Tuaregs to the Songhai Empire to the Moroccans to the French to the modern nation of Mali – and in late-breaking news, Tuareg secessionists are now in control. The city now has a population of just 50,000 but in its heyday it attracted visitors like Ibn Battuta and Leo Africanus. It is claimed that salt used to fetch its weight in gold in this city that was known for its riches. Located on the bend of the river Niger where it runs north through the Sahara before turning south into Nigeria, the name of this city evokes “distant” or “outlandish” in many European and Indian languages. Name this city.
Answer: Timbuktu, also spelled in French as Tomboctou.
5. The formal name of this place of worship translates to “Temple of God”. It is the holiest shrine for its faith, and it is located in the middle of a small lake. The original name of the lake has now become the name of the entire city where the shrine is located. Apart from the spiritual place of worship, the shrine is also home to a seat of temporal political authority whose formal name translates to “The Seat of God.” Name this shrine and the city is it located in.
Answer: Harmandir Sahib, popularly known as the Golden Temple in Amritsar. Amritsar was the name of the lake in which the temple is located. The seat of temporal authority is the Akal Takht -- "throne of the timeless god."
6. A famous Indian filmmaker said this: “The ingredients of the average Hindi film are well known; colour (Eastman preferred); songs (six or seven) in voices one knows and trusts; dance – solo and ensemble – the more frenzied the better; bad girl, good girl, bad guy, good guy, romance (but no kisses); tears, guffaws, fights, chases, melodrama; characters that exist in a social vacuum; dwellings which do not exist outside the studio floor… see any three Hindi films, and two will have all the ingredients listed above.” Name him.
Answer: Satyajit Ray.
7. This plant native to the Indian subcontinent is botanically classified as a berry, with numerous small, soft seeds. The plant is a close relative of tobacco, and its fruit contain the highest levels of nicotine of any edible fruit. It is thought to have been introduced to the the western world only in the 2nd millennium CE by the Arabs who brought it to Moorish Spain. It has at least three widely used names just in the English language – one each in Britain, North America and India. Many varieties of this plant are grown around the world, with fruit ranging widely in shape and size. Name this essential ingredient of cuisines from Spain to Japan.
Answer: Brinjal, also known in English as aubergine and eggplant.
8. The first major naval defeat of a European power by an Asian navy came in 1904 when Japan defeated Russia. Prior to the 20th century, there was just one documented instance of an Asian power defeating a European power in a naval battle. The defeated European power was the Dutch East India Company, whose fleet was sunk by the forces of a southern Indian state. Name this southern Indian state. (The state does not exist as a political entity today; I am looking the name of the old state.)
Answer: The state is Tiruvitamkur, which was anglicized as Travancore, with Marthanda Varma as king. Varma's victory in against the Dutch basically ended Dutch plans to colonize southern India. After this defeat, the Dutch East India Company focused its energies on Java in Indonesia, which it did colonize. For more on this forgotten chapter of history, see Travancore-Dutch War.
9. This Cambridge-educated Indian scientist and statistician was also a polyglot and an expert on Hindu philosophy and Bengali literature. In his primary discipline of statistics, he is best remembered for introducing a measure for the similarity of an unknown sample set to a known sample set. That measure is now named after him. He established India’s preeminent institution for statistical research. After independence, he was instrumental in designing the National Sample Surveys that are the underpinning of all income and consumption studies in India, and established the Central Statistical Organization. His most prominent role was as the architect of India’s Second Five-Year Plan, a task he performed at the express request of Nehru. Name this statistician.
Answer: Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis. He founded Kolkata's Indian Statistical Institute.
10. When public sector employee unions in India negotiate wages with the various governments, one of the most important items on the table is DA. The term dates back to a time before the current popular name for the phenomenon it addresses became widely known. What does DA stand for, and what phenomenon does it seek to address?
Answer: Dearness Allowance. Dearness refers to the price of various things; this was an inflation adjustment along the lines of COLA (cost of living adjustments).

This cliquishness must be condemned. There should only be one state in India, and that state should be called India. Eventually, to prevent regionalist feelings within that one state, we should also have only one city called India, but that will take more time.doofus_maximus wrote:Huzefa Kapasi wrote:charvaka wrote:
