There was this Quiz on Quiznet by a bloke called Saxena claiming that this would be his first Quiz on Quiznet and the topic would be the Indo Pak War of 1971. Me being a war afficionado, i promptly opened up the Quiz, and as i walked through the Quiz, i was just dumbstruck. What this guy has done is simply copy paste the entire set of 30 questions which Siddartha Basu had asked for Mastermind India 2000 on same topic. It was a straight lift, what we call in our language "makki-ki-makki" copy. I am pasting the quiz out here. I sent a mail to Quiznet but due to some technical problem it has bounced back. Anyway i am putting up this Quiz out here for u guys to See it.
