Option 2 : B and C

The statements B and C are true about the important pilgrims visit to India during ancient times.

  • Pilgrims are men and women who undertake journeys to holy places in order to offer worship.
  • As traders journeyed to distant lands in caravans and ships, pilgrims often travelled with them.
  • The best-known of these are the Chinese Buddhist pilgrims, Fa Xian, who came to the subcontinent about 1600 years ago, Xuan Zang (who came around 1400 years ago) and I-Qing, who came about 50 years after Xuan Zang.
  • They came to visit places associated with the life of the Buddha as well as famous monasteries.
  • Each of these pilgrims left an account of his journey.
  • They wrote of the dangers they encountered on their travels, which often took years, of the countries and the monasteries that they visited, and the books they carried back with them. 

Hence, we can conclude that the following statements are true about the important pilgrims visit to India during ancient times:

B. Xuan Zang visited India to see the places associated with the life of Buddha and famous monasteries.

C. Chinese Buddhist pilgrims wrote extensively about books they collected and monasteries they visited.

Mistake Points

  • Fa Xian visited India to learn Sanskrit and establish trade links between Chinese and Indian Kings is not true because:
    • ​Fa Xian visited India to see the places associated with the life of Buddha and famous monasteries.
