Q. Which Madhya Pradesh fort is called the "Gateway to South India"?
Answer: Asirgarh Fort
Notes: Asirgarh Fort is located in the Satpura range of Madhya Pradesh. It controls the route between northern and southern India. The fort played a military role in medieval times. Dhar, Chanderi, and Mandsaur forts are important but not on the north-south route. Asirgarh Fort earned the title "Gateway to South India" due to this strategic position.
