In the Ramayana, Meghnad (Indrajit), the son of Ravana and a powerful warrior, was killed by Lakshman during the final battle. Lakshman used the divine weapon given to him by the gods to defeat Meghnad.

Lord Ram had two sons, Luv (Lava) and Kush, born to Sita. This is well-documented in the Ramayana epic, specifically in the Uttara Kanda where the twins are introduced to their father after their exile in Valmiki's ashram.

Ram was born to King Dasharatha and Queen Kaushalya of Ayodhya. Dasharatha was his father, and Kaushalya was his mother and Dasharatha's principal queen. In the context of Indian familial relationships, Ram is correctly identified as the son of both his parents.

The Kurukshetra war, described in the Mahabharata epic, was fought for 18 days. Each day saw fierce battles between the Pandavas and Kauravas, culminating in the final confrontation on the 18th day with Bhima and Duryodhana's mace duel.

In Hindu mythology, Lord Krishna's incarnation ended when a hunter named Jara accidentally shot him in the heel with an arrow, mistaking it for a prey animal. This event fulfilled Gandhari's curse and marked Krishna's departure from earthly life.

The Indian National Congress was founded in 1885. The first session was held in Bombay from December 28-31, 1885, with AO Hume as the key organizer. This is a foundational fact in modern Indian history and the independence movement.

Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee (spelled variously as Wyomesh Chandra Bannerjee) was the first president of the Indian National Congress in 1885. AO Hume was the founder-organizer but not the president. Dadabhai Naoroji became president later (1886, 1893, 1906).

Annie Besant became the first woman president of the Indian National Congress in 1917 at the Calcutta session. Sarojini Naidu followed later (1925). Indira Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi were Congress presidents but came much later in the post-independence era.

Mahatma Gandhi became the President of the Indian National Congress in 1924 and presided over the Belgaum session. This was a significant period in the independence movement where Gandhi's leadership was pivotal. The other years (1925-1927) are incorrect as Gandhi was not the INC President during those years.

Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose was indeed the President of INC - he was elected President in 1938 (Haripura session) and again in 1939 (Tripuri session). His presidency was marked by ideological differences with Gandhi, leading to his resignation and formation of the Forward Bloc.
