SpringSpree'10 Alert!!!

Well as I have been mentioning all along, just over a week is left for this year's one of the most happening quizzes to begin. Springspree is the annual cultural fest of NIT Warangal and this year's edition (though delayed due to unforeseen circumstances) promises to be a unforgettable one. This year's "SPREE" boasts of a plethora of quizzing events with a prize money of over 90K up for grabs. Starting from 5th March, the event features a General Quiz, a Biz Quiz, a SpEnt (Sports & Entertainment) Quiz, an India Quiz, a Back to School lone wolf Quiz and a local flavoured Tollywood Quiz. For more details do check out SpringSpree website and also the unofficial NITW quizzing blog . So folks don't miss out on this great quizzing fest (though it will back again next year but who knows their may not be a next year :P). In the meanwhile drool over this year's posters.

Road To SpringSpree '10 - part I...

Well I am back to quizzing again after a pretty enormous layoff (please don't read it as "company layoff")... and in time for NIT Warangal's spring fest. Considering the fact that this time around the event is being considered to be a big crowd puller with its tempting prize money (check out the site for the details), claims of an innovative take on quizzing of best quality possible and an expected participation from some of the country's quizzing powerhouses. Nevertheless I dedicate my questions for the coming month to Spring Spree 2010. Leave your answers as comments.
1. Connect
 

2. Identify this flag (clue: Think about Indian Independence Struggle)
 
 

Didn't get too many replies this time around except for old warhorse Chetan springing in a reply... Anyways here are the answers:

1. Connections is the part game/part social network virtual world Second Life designed by Linden Labs (logo) and the 4 indian companies/organisation having their virtual offices in it.
2. Ghadar Party
