Question map
Which one of the following pairs of Newspaper and Editor is not correctly matched ? Newspaper Editor
Explanation
The pair 'Voice of India – Gopal Krishna Gokhale' is incorrectly matched. Historical records and academic texts confirm that 'Voice of India' was founded and edited by Dadabhai Naoroji in 1883 to provide a platform for Indian grievances [3]. Gopal Krishna Gokhale, while a prominent moderate leader, was primarily associated with the newspaper 'Sudharak' and the journal of the Sarvajanik Sabha [3]. The other pairs are correct: Mahatma Gandhi edited 'Navjivan' (along with Young India and Harijan); Bal Gangadhar Tilak edited the English-language 'Mahratta' and the Marathi-language 'Kesari' [3]; and Surendranath Banerjea was the editor of 'The Bengalee', which he used to criticize colonial policies and judicial insensitivity [2]. These newspapers played a vital role in educating the masses and spreading nationalist ideology during the early freedom movement [3].
