CHILDREN'S SECTION

摘要

We have started a new feature called 'Children's quiz.' The questions are very basic and one may argue that the answers are easily available on internet. It doesn't really matter. Our aim is to grow inquisitiveness about Railways among our children and to enrich their knowledge - no matter which way.1.> History of India's struggle for freedom is long and the list of our freedom fighters is just endless. Some of them were believers in Gandhian philosophy while others were extremists/revolutionaries. August 9 is celebrated as the 'Quit India' Day. But the day is also known for another historically important incident, involving a train and a section of our revolutionaries. Name the incident. In which year did it take place?2.>Swatantrata Senani Superfast Express train runs between which two places? 3.>Who authored the book 'Train to Pakistan' ? 4.>The tallest statue of the world is in India. The statue is of a very famous freedom fighter. Name him. At which railway station would you get down to visit the Statue? (You can have a distant view of the statue from the station platform itself).5.>On 11th Feb, 1948 a very special train, composed of only third class coaches left Delhi for Allahabad (now called Prayagraj). Thousands of people thronged the station platforms wherever the train stopped en-route. What was the name of the train? What was its significance? Why such an important special train would have only third class coaches?
