    In 1890, who among the following started "Indian Social Reformer"?

    A)  Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar

    B)  K. Viresalingam

    C)  K. Natarajan

    D)  M. G. Ranade

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] The Indian Social Reformer was founded in Madras in 1890 by Kamakashi Natarajan, an associate of that great campaigning journalist and founder of The Hindu, G. Subramaniam lyer.

But it shared with its eastern counterpart a willingness to create and catalyse controversy. On the burning social issues of the day (such as the Age of Consent Bill) it pressed the wavering nationalist to take a progressive stance. One of its early campaigns, oddly enough, was inspired by developments on the cricket field.
