Which of the following universities was the centre of military education during Vedic period ?

  • A.Takshashila
  • B.Nalanda
  • C.Gunsheela
  • D.Kundinpur

Answer: A

The key gives Takshashila.

Takshashila (Taxila), in the north-west, is the most ancient of India's famous seats of learning, and the Jatakas describe students going there to learn the arts, including archery and military science, alongside medicine, law and the Vedas. Chandragupta Maurya is traditionally said to have been trained there under Chanakya.

Nalanda flourished much later, from the Gupta period, as a Buddhist monastic university, and Gunsheela and Kundinpur are not known as centres of military training.
