Question 7. Duryodhana and his brothers were known as (a) Kauravas (b) Pandavas (c) Malechhes (d) Nishada Answer
The name Kaurava comes from the lineage of Dhritarashtra's ancestor Kuru, a dynamic king and ruler of the earth to all its corners, hence the heirs of the Kuru lineage termed as Kauravas, which for instance, also includes the five Pandavas and the later discovered sixth Pandava, Karna.
