1. The award was jointly conferred upon celebrated Urdu poet Gulzar and eminent Sanskrit scholar Jagadguru Rambhadracharya.
2. This marks only the second time that the Sanskrit language has been recognized with the Jnanpith Award.
3. The award is presented annually by the Sahitya Akademi under the Ministry of Culture, Government of India.

  2. B
    1 and 3 only
  3. C
    2 and 3 only
  4. D
    1, 2 and 3

Cevap

The statement combination '1 and 2 only' is correct.
The correct answer combines statements 1 and 2. The 58th Jnanpith Award was jointly announced for Urdu literary figure Gulzar and Sanskrit scholar Jagadguru Rambhadracharya. This is indeed the second time Sanskrit has won the honor (first being Satya Vrat Shastri in 2006). Statement 3 is false because Bharatiya Jnanpith, a private cultural organization, presents the award, not Sahitya Akademi.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Verify the award recipients for the 58th Jnanpith Award.
The Jnanpith Selection Committee selected renowned Urdu poet/filmmaker Gulzar (Sampooran Singh Kalra) and spiritual leader/Sanskrit scholar Jagadguru Rambhadracharya as joint awardees for the 58th Jnanpith Award. Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Direct confirmation of current affairs news regarding literary honors.
2
Analyze language history associated with the award.
Before this selection, Sanskrit had received the Jnanpith Award only once—conferred on Acharya Satya Vrat Shastri in 2006. This award marks the second instance of Sanskrit receiving the honor. Hence, statement 2 is correct.
Historical precedent analysis of language representation in national awards.
3
Identify the institutional authority that confers the Jnanpith Award.
The Jnanpith Award is presented by Bharatiya Jnanpith (instituted in 1961 by Sahu Shanti Prasad Jain and Rama Jain), an independent private cultural trust. Sahitya Akademi is a separate autonomous organization under the Ministry of Culture that gives Sahitya Akademi awards. Hence, statement 3 is incorrect.
Distinguishing between private trusts and statutory/autonomous government institutions conferring literary awards.
