Which one of the following pairs is correctly matched?
Explanation
Raja Radhakanta Deb was a prominent leader of the orthodox Hindu community in Bengal. In 1830, he founded the Dharma Sabha to counter the reformist influence of Raja Ram Mohan Roy and the Brahmo Samaj [t1][t2]. Specifically, he led the opposition against the abolition of Sati (1829), arguing that the British should not interfere in traditional religious customs [t3][t5]. Regarding other options: Surendranath Banerjee was associated with the Indian Association, not the Home Rule Movement [t7]. Lala Hardayal founded the Ghadar Party in San Francisco (USA), not an army in Europe [c1][t4]. While the Berlin Committee existed in Europe, Hardayal's primary organization was the Pacific Coast Hindustan Association [c1]. Sayyid Ahmed Khan was a critic of the Congress but died in 1898, whereas the Muslim League was founded in 1906 by Nawab Salimullah and others [t8][t9].
