The correct answer is option 1, Kesari. Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a prominent Indian nationalist and freedom fighter, was the founder of Kesari newspaper. Kesari was a Marathi newspaper that played a significant role in the Indian independence movement and in spreading the message of national unity and freedom. It was started by Tilak in 1881, with the aim of advocating for political and social reforms, as well as promoting nationalism and empowering the masses. Kesari became a platform for Tilak to express his views on various issues and to mobilize public opinion against British colonial rule. The newspaper`s contribution to India`s freedom struggle and its role in shaping public opinion make it an important part of Indian history.
