Consider the following statements about literary art of India.

1. Vedas are just a series of normal texts used in religious rituals and sacrifices.
2. All Buddhist canonical literature is written in Prakrit.

Which of the following statement(s) is/are incorrect?
a) 1 only
b) 2 only
c) Both 1 and 2
d) Neither 1 nor 2

Ans-[C]

Explanation:  As per CCRT website, “It is not true to say that the Vedas are a series of sacred texts used in religious rituals and sacrifices. The Vedas are essentially archetypal poetry of high literary value. They are mythical in nature and their language is symbolic. Being mythical, they have multiple meanings, and, therefore, the theologian moulds his rites, the preacher seeks his belief, the philosopher finds the clues for his intellectual speculation and the law-makers work out the social and political life-style in accordance with the archetypal truths of the Vedas.”

Hence statement 1 is incorrect.

Statement 2 is also incorrect as all the Buddhist canoncial literature is written in Pali.
