Previous Year Question

Which one of the following is not correctly matched?

A.

Bhagat Singh — The Indian Sociologist

B.

Sachindranath Sanyal — Bandi Jivan

C.

Lala Ramsaran Das — The Dreamland

D.

Bhagawati Charan Vohra — The Philosophy of Bomb

Correct Answer: A

Detailed Solution

The Indian Sociologist was founded by Shyamji Krishna Varma in London in 1905, not by Bhagat Singh. It was a monthly journal through which Shyamji Krishna Varma propagated Indian nationalist ideas. He also played a leading role in establishing the Indian Home Rule Society and India House in 1905.

The other three pairs are correctly matched—

Sachindranath Sanyal — Bandi Jivan: Bandi Jivan is a three-part autobiographical account written by Sachindranath Sanyal. Written in 1922, it describes his revolutionary activities, imprisonment and experiences connected with the freedom movement.

Lala Ram Saran Das — The Dreamland: Dreamland was a collection of poetry written by Lala Ram Saran Das. He was associated with the Ghadar movement and later with the HSRA. An important fact is that Bhagat Singh wrote the Introduction to Dreamland, but the book itself was written by Lala Ram Saran Das.

Bhagwati Charan Vohra — The Philosophy of Bomb: Philosophy of the Bomb was written by Bhagwati Charan Vohra. It presented the HSRA's position in response to Mahatma Gandhi's article “Cult of the Bomb.”

Shyamji Krishna Varma → The Indian Sociologist
Sachindranath Sanyal → Bandi Jivan
Lala Ram Saran Das → Dreamland
