Appeared in: BSF Staff Nurse - 2021

Explanation

Chaitya Bhoomi, located in Dadar, Mumbai, is the memorial and cremation site of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
Dr. Ambedkar was a jurist, economist, politician, and social reformer who was the principal architect of the Constitution of India.
The site is a significant place of pilgrimage for his followers, particularly on his death anniversary, December 6th, known as Mahaparinirvan Diwas.

Option B: The cremation site of Shankar Dayal Sharma, the ninth President of India, is named Karma Bhumi.
Option C: The cremation site of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, is named Raj Ghat.
Option D: The cremation site of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, is named Shanti Vana (Forest of Peace).

Clinical Relevance

Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Cremation Sites of Famous Indian Leaders as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
This question tests general knowledge, a component often included in nursing entrance examinations to assess the overall awareness of candidates.
While not directly related to clinical skills, a broad general knowledge base is considered an attribute of a well-rounded professional.
What if the question asked for 'Shakti Sthal'? The correct answer would then be Indira Gandhi, as that is the name of her memorial in Delhi.

How to Approach the Question

First, identify the key terms in the question: 'cremation place' and 'Chaitya Bhoomi'.
This is a factual recall question from general knowledge.
Access your memory regarding the memorials of prominent Indian leaders.
Associate 'Chaitya Bhoomi' with Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
If unsure, try to eliminate other options. For example, recall that Mahatma Gandhi's memorial is Raj Ghat and Jawaharlal Nehru's is Shanti Vana.
Select the option that correctly matches the name of the cremation place.
