About Famous Places MCQs

This short set focuses on South Asia and its neighbours. Questions ask for the old name of Dhaka, once known as Jahangirnagar during Mughal rule, alternative names of high peaks in the Karakoram, and the countries involved in the Tulbul navigation project dispute on the Jhelum. Others ask which province of Afghanistan produces the most opium and the former name of a town in Balochistan. Place-name questions reward regular revision, so linking each place to a map location and a short historical note works well.
