Answer 1

Hint: The Indian sociologist was an Indian nationalist journal, including coverage of all aspects of politics. The subtitle of the Indian sociologist was “ An organ of Freedom, and political, social and religious reform.”

Complete answer: Option A: Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, was an Indian novelist and journalist, who composed “ vande mataram” during the Independence movement. This option is incorrect.
Option B: The Indian Sociologist was published by Shyamji Krishna Verma, who was an Indian, lawyer, revolutionary fighter and a journalist who led the formation of the “ The Indian Sociologist” in London and Indian home rule society which promoted the cause of self rule in British India. He was also the founder of India House, a nationalist organization which promoted nationalist views among Indian students in Britain . He used this monthly journal to express his views on British and Indian politics, therefore the Government of London barred Krishna Verma and he fled from London to Paris, after the printers of the newspaper were persecuted. When Krishna Verma moved to Paris, from 1907 to 1914 the journal was edited by him in Paris.
Option C: Bhagat Singh, was an extremist Indian revolutionary and was executed at age of 23. This option is incorrect.
Option D: Tarak Nath Das, was an internationalist scholar and an Indian revolutionary who organized Asian Indian immigrants for Indian independence movement. This option is incorrect.

Thus, Option B is the correct answer.

Note: In 1907, the journal became more radical while advocating Swaraj ( complete self rule in India) and also promoted the creation of the society of Political Missionaries of India. Hence, in 1907 on 19 September a ban on import and sale of journals in India.
