Who among the following was called Shakespeare of India?
-
- Kalidas
- Patanjali
- Chanakya
- Gautam
Correct Option: A
Kalidasa was called Shakespeare of India. Numerous works have been attributed to his authorship. Most of them, however, are either by lesser poets bearing the same name or by others of some intrinsic worth, whose works simply chanced to be associated with Kalidasa's name, their own names having long before ceased to be remembered. Only seven are generally considered genuine.
