Previous Year Question

Which one of the following pairs is not correctly matched?

A.

S. C. Bose — Indian Struggle

B.

Dadabhai Naoroji — Poverty and Un-British Rule in India

C.

Rajendra Prasad — India Divided

D.

Frank Moraes — India from Curzon to Nehru and After

Correct Answer: D

Detailed Solution

India: From Curzon to Nehru and After was written by Durga Das, not Frank Moraes. The work presents twentieth-century Indian political history from the Curzon period through Nehru and the period after him.

Frank Moraes, instead, wrote Jawaharlal Nehru: A Biography. Therefore, the author-book pairing in option (d) is incorrect.

The other three pairs are correctly matched—

S. C. Bose — The Indian Struggle: The book was written by Subhas Chandra Bose. Its original version, The Indian Struggle, 1920–1934, was published in 1935.

Dadabhai Naoroji — Poverty and Un-British Rule in India: This is a famous work by Dadabhai Naoroji and was published in 1901. It presents in detail his arguments concerning colonial economic exploitation and the drain of wealth from India.

Rajendra Prasad — India Divided: This work was written by Dr. Rajendra Prasad and was originally published in 1946. It analyses the proposed Partition of India and the political and economic questions associated with it.

Subhas Chandra Bose → The Indian Struggle
Dadabhai Naoroji → Poverty and Un-British Rule in India
Rajendra Prasad → India Divided
Durga Das → India from Curzon to Nehru and After
Frank Moraes → Jawaharlal Nehru: A Biography
