Ideally, the response to the question would be - It’s merely a means to test your social awareness.
India is a highly populated country with a big discrepancy between the number of available government jobs and the number of people searching for them. Take, for example, the D-level or even lower-rank postings on the Indian Railways, which need a 10th-grade pass; the candidates for these tests are mostly graduates, PhDs, MPhils, and other professionals. As a result, asking a gk query is the only way to exclude and filter candidates. Let me ask you why a candidate for a constable post must know “What is the name of Mountbatten’s wife?” “Who built the Char Minar?” or “Who created the Char Minar?” Asking such foolish gk questions serves no use because they don’t expose or qualify a candidate for police work.
