Which book guided the Poligar confederacy against British which had a maxim "Pretend submission and Procrastinate surrender before the formidable enemy"?
Answer: C
The Panchatantra is the book that guided the Poligar confederacy, whose maxim was to pretend submission and delay surrender before a formidable enemy. The key follows the pen tick on the booklet.
The Mahabharata, Ramayana and Silappathikaram are epics, and none of them is the source of the maxim as printed in the question. The pairing is taken from the key because this is a regional history detail.
The Panchatantra is a collection of animal fables in Sanskrit that teaches statecraft and practical wisdom, including how a weak ruler should behave before a strong enemy, which is the idea of the maxim. The Mahabharata and Ramayana are epics of dharma and war, and the Silappathikaram is a Tamil epic of Kannagi, none of which is known as a handbook of this kind of political advice.
