Question

Identify the correct pair:
(i) Prabhakar — Acharya P.K. Atre
(ii) Darpan — Balshastri Jambhekar
(iii) Deenbandhu — Krishnarao Bhalekar
(iv) Kesari — Bal Gangadhar Tilak

• A. (i)
• B. (ii)
• C. (iii)
• D. (iv)

Hint:

Darpan – Balshastri Jambhekar (India’s first Marathi newspaper).

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Deenbandhu Newspaper
‘Deenbandhu’ was a Marathi-language newspaper, and its editor was Krishnarao Arjun Keluskar, not Krishnarao Bholekar. Krishnarao Arjun Keluskar was a noted journalist and editor in the 19th century who played a significant role in the social reform movements in Maharashtra. 

Step 2: The Editor Confusion 
Krishnarao Bholekar, another important figure in Marathi literature, was not the editor of ‘Deenbandhu.’ Instead, he was associated with other contributions to Marathi literature and journalism, making the mix-up understandable but incorrect in this context.
