Ans: (c) Ramanand Chatterjee
Explanation: ‘The Modern Review’ was started by (c) Ramanand Chatterjee.
Ramanand Chatterjee, an Indian journalist and nationalist, founded ‘The Modern Review’ in 1907. The magazine played a significant role in the intellectual and literary landscape of early 20th-century India.
‘The Modern Review’ aimed to provide a platform for intellectual discourse, political commentary, and literary discussions. It covered a wide range of topics, including social issues, cultural developments, politics, and literature. The magazine contributed to the intellectual awakening and nationalist movement in India during that period. While Madan Mohan Malaviya was a notable educationist and politician, he was not associated with the founding of ‘The Modern Review.’ C. V. Chintamani, an Indian journalist and political commentator, also had no direct connection to the magazine. Annie Besant, a prominent British social reformer and Indian nationalist, played a significant role in the Indian independence movement but was not involved in the establishment of ‘The Modern Review.’ The correct answer is Ramanand Chatterjee.
