Q. The ‘Young India’ was edited by
(a) Jawaharlal Nehru
(b) Mahadev Desai
(c) Mahatma Gandhi
(d) Acharya Narendra Dev.
Ans: (c) Mahatma Gandhi
Explanation: The ‘Young India’ journal was edited by (c) Mahatma Gandhi.
‘Young India’ was a weekly newspaper in English that Mahatma Gandhi edited from 1919 to 1932. It served as a platform for Gandhi to express his views, discuss social issues, and advocate for nonviolence, self-reliance, and Indian independence. Gandhi used ‘Young India’ as a means to spread his philosophy of Satyagraha and to communicate with a wide audience, both within India and internationally.
While Jawaharlal Nehru played a significant role in the Indian freedom struggle and later became India’s first Prime Minister, he was not the editor of ‘Young India’. Mahadev Desai was Gandhi’s personal secretary and close associate, but he was not the editor of ‘Young India’. Acharya Narendra Dev was a prominent Indian socialist leader and a participant in the independence movement, but he was not associated with editing ‘Young India’.
Therefore, the correct answer is that Mahatma Gandhi edited the ‘Young India’ journal.
