1In classical Indian thought, a systematic philosophical 'view' or school is most commonly called a:
A.Darshana
B.Vyavahara only
C.Kama only
D.Shastra only in the sense of pure grammar
Explanation: Darshana literally means 'seeing' or 'view' and denotes a systematic philosophical outlook; the classical schools are traditionally called darshanas.
2A feature commonly ascribed to classical Indian philosophy is that it is closely oriented toward:
A.Denying any role for knowledge
B.Liberation (moksha) from bondage and suffering
C.Only cataloguing sense data with no ethical aim
D.Rejecting all practice and discipline
Explanation: Most classical Indian systems treat philosophy as practical wisdom aimed at liberation (moksha/nirvana/kaivalya), not mere idle speculation.
3In the traditional classification, schools that accept the authority of the Vedas are generally called:
A.Only Buddhist
B.Only Jain
C.Astika
D.Only Charvaka
Explanation: Astika schools accept Vedic authority (e.g., Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, Vedanta). Nastika schools reject Vedic authority (Charvaka, Buddhism, Jainism).
4Which of the following is traditionally grouped among the nastika (non-Vedic-authority) systems?
A.Nyaya
B.Mimamsa
C.Vedanta
D.Buddhism
Explanation: Buddhism rejects Vedic authority and is classed as nastika; Nyaya, Mimamsa, and Vedanta are astika.
5The four purusharthas (aims of human life) traditionally include dharma, artha, kama, and:
A.Moksha
B.Only ahimsa
C.Only pratyaksha
D.Only samadhi
Explanation: The classical purusharthas are dharma (duty/righteousness), artha (means/wealth), kama (desire/pleasure), and moksha (liberation).
6In Indian epistemology, a means of valid knowledge is called a:
A.Only samskara
B.Pramana
C.Only guna
D.Only dravya
Explanation: Pramana is a means or instrument of valid knowledge (prama). Schools differ on how many pramanas they accept.
7Which pair correctly matches the traditional six astika darshanas often listed together?
A.Only Jainism and Charvaka
B.Only Nyaya and Charvaka
C.Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, Vedanta
D.Only Charvaka and Buddhism
Explanation: The six classical astika darshanas are Nyaya, Vaisheshika, Samkhya, Yoga, Purva-Mimamsa, and Uttara-Mimamsa (Vedanta).
8The Sanskrit term often used for bondage or entanglement in the cycle of existence is:
A.Only nirvana as bondage
B.Only moksha as bondage
C.Only pramana as bondage
D.Bandha (with samsara naming the cycle itself)
Explanation: Bandha denotes bondage; samsara names the cycle of birth-and-death. Moksha/nirvana is liberation from that bondage, not bondage itself.
9Which statement best captures a shared concern across many classical Indian schools?
A.Analyzing ignorance (avidya) as a root of bondage and seeking a path out of it
B.Denying any difference among schools on every doctrinal point
C.Rejecting ethics entirely as irrelevant
D.Holding that only political power is the highest good
Explanation: Despite major metaphysical disagreements, many schools analyze ignorance/misapprehension as central to bondage and propose knowledge, discipline, or virtue as paths to freedom.
10The term 'heterodox' for Charvaka, Buddhism, and Jainism in standard board usage primarily signals that they:
A.All teach a permanent soul identical to Brahman
B.Do not accept Vedic authority
C.All deny ethics completely
D.All accept the same number of pramanas
Explanation: In Indian classification, 'nastika/heterodox' chiefly means non-acceptance of Vedic authority—not a single shared metaphysics or ethics package.
