Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The English-language newspaper 'Bande Mataram' was founded in Calcutta in 1905 by Bipin Chandra Pal [t1][t10]. While Sri Aurobindo Ghosh is famously associated with the journal as its most influential editor and contributor, it was Pal who started the publication with a small capital of 500 rupees [t6]. In August 1906, Aurobindo joined as an editorial writer and later became the principal editor after the paper was reorganized as a joint-stock company in October 1906 [t6][t10]. Barindra Kumar Ghose, mentioned in the options, was primarily associated with the Bengali weekly 'Yugantar' [t7][t10]. Surendra Nath Banerjee edited 'The Bengalee', and Devendra Nath Tagore was associated with the 'Indian Mirror' and 'National Paper' [c3][t10]. Therefore, Bipin Chandra Pal is the correct founder among the given choices.
