The theatrical play to be presented before the Prime Minister at Rashtriya Ekta Diwas 2026 is based on which novel?
- A.Durgeshnandini
- B.Anandamath
- C.Devdas
- D.Gora
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Anandamath, the novel by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay. The Union Home Secretary said that the play, curated by the National School of Drama and staged before the Prime Minister, takes Anandamath as its theme this year because it is the year of Vande Mataram, and that it rests on the novel's enduring idea that every Indian carries a responsibility towards building a bright future for the country. Option A, Durgeshnandini, is wrong, although it too was written by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay; the play announced for this year is on Anandamath alone. Option C, Devdas, is wrong, as is option D, Gora, neither being the subject of this year's presentation. It is worth remembering that last year the same play took Sardar Patel as its theme, so the subject changes from edition to edition and the pairing of year to theme is what gets asked.
