Question

Which one of the following is not correctly matched?

Person | Associated with

1. A. James Augustus Hicky - Calcutta Chronicle (Correct answer)
2. B. Dayananda Saraswati - Satyarth Prakash
3. C. Ramaswamy Naicker - Justice Party
4. D. Jyotirao Phule - Satyashodhak Samaj

Correct Answer

Option A — James Augustus Hicky - Calcutta Chronicle

Detailed Solution & Explanation

The correct answer is James Augustus Hicky - Calcutta Chronicle.

Key Points

• This pair is incorrectly matched. James Augustus Hicky founded "Hicky's Bengal Gazette", also called the "Calcutta General Advertiser", in 1780 — not the Calcutta Chronicle.
• It was the first printed newspaper in India and in Asia, known for its outspoken criticism of Warren Hastings, which led to Hicky's imprisonment and the paper's suppression in 1782.
• The other three pairs are correctly matched. Dayananda Saraswati, founder of the Arya Samaj (1875), wrote "Satyarth Prakash" and gave the call "Back to the Vedas". E. V. Ramaswamy Naicker (Periyar) was associated with the Justice Party and founded the Self-Respect Movement, later the Dravidar Kazhagam. Jyotirao Phule founded the Satyashodhak Samaj (1873) in Pune and wrote "Gulamgiri".

Exam Tip

• in "not correctly matched" questions, the wrong pair usually alters a title, not the person.
