Which of the following is not matched rightly? News Paper, Editor

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is 4:

This question tests your knowledge of the editors and founders of prominent Indian newspapers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a critical period in the rise of Indian nationalism. The key to answering this is recognizing the mismatched pair. The **Sudharak** newspaper was founded and edited by **Gopal Krishna Gokhale**, a famous social reformer and political leader, known for his moderate approach within the Indian National Congress. The name **Abanindranath Tagore** is incorrectly associated with *Sudharak*. Abanindranath Tagore was a renowned artist and the principal founder of the Bengal School of Art, making him a figure in the cultural revival movement, not a political editor of the *Sudharak* newspaper. Because the pair *Sudharak - Abanindranath Tagore* is factually incorrect, it is the rightly unmatched pair among the options.

The incorrect option is 1:
The pairing **The Hindu - G. Subramania Iyer** is correctly matched. G. Subramania Iyer was indeed a co-founder and the first editor of *The Hindu* newspaper, which began in 1878 and became an influential voice in the Madras Presidency. (Search result $$3$$ confirms G. Subramania Iyer was editor and proprietor of The Hindu from 1878–1898).

The incorrect option is 2:
The pairing **The Bengalee - Surendranath Banerjee** is correctly matched. Surendranath Banerjee, one of the earliest Indian political leaders, edited *The Bengalee*, which was originally started by Girish Chandra Ghosh but later became Banerjee's platform for political commentary.

The incorrect option is 3:
The pairing **Amrit Bazar Patrika - Motilal Ghosh** is correctly matched. Motilal Ghosh was a founder and editor of the *Amrit Bazar Patrika*, which began as a Bengali weekly and later became an English daily, known for its fiery nationalism.
