A good quiz question is one that gives you clues through which you can figure out the answer, even if you don't know the answer immediately. A trivia question is certainly NOT a good quiz question.

1. Smiling Buddha (I know this cause its used in Comp Sci research)
2. Durga
Connect..(going by the largely Indian origin code names)
Indian Nuclear Tests.
Just from the laughing Buddha esque image and mention of codewords, my guess is Pokhran atomic tests. I think the codeword for success was- The Buddha smiles/smiles again and the others were allied codewords...
Not sure how Durga relates..
The first image is of the smiling budhha which leads me to believe that the connect is "The Nuclear Tests(Explosions) in Pohkran conducted by India" (the first one of which which was code named smiling buddha)
Not sure about the first one....
But two and three are Pokhran II related, so maybe Pokhran I was called Laughing Buddha?
Pokhran II series of detonations were Shakti I to Shakti V I think... and Kumbhakaran, Prayer house etc. were code words used in the operation
Not sure.... Code words used by the Indian Secret Service?
The connect is India's Nuclear tests.
The first test in 1974 was code named "Smiling Buddha".
The tests in 1998 were code named "Shakti" (the creative feminine force embodied by Goddess Durga)
The place used to shelter the nuclear devices in Shakti was called the "Prayer Hall". "White House", "Kumbhkaran" and "Taj Mahal" were the shafts in which 3 of the 5 nuclear devices were detonated.
Good job Rahul, Shiv, Madhur and Ankur.
