India Inquizzitive: The Journey of Quizzing in India

Aanton Mookherjee

You don’t just quiz to win; you quiz to belong... and sometimes just to prove your friend wrong

India has always had an innate fascination with the endless search for answers – asking who, why and how – inevitably triggering a never-ending cycle of new questions. From the Sphinx asking travellers ancient riddles to examiners testing cabbies on the Knowledge, a brutal navigation examination required for a taxi license in London, India Inquizzitive brings to life the illuminating journey of quizzing in the country.

Through compelling stories of legendary quizmasters and riveting competitions, plunge into a realm of inquiry and curiosity that has been a part of India from ancient times. Explore how quizzing evolved from merely screaming answers at the TV set to local trivia showdowns over pints, turning solitary knowledge into a shared obsession.
