UGC NET History Practice Question

The official report of the Sadler University Commission (1917–19) dealt primarily with reforms in:

Calcutta University and secondary education structures ✓

Primary rural schools exclusively

Technical engineering colleges

Vernacular religious seminaries

The Sadler Commission specifically examined Calcutta University's structure and the broader secondary education system feeding into it — its recommendations influenced subsequent reorganization of higher education administration in Bengal and elsewhere.

The journal Bande Mataram, published from Paris, was edited by which revolutionary freedom fighter?

Bhikaiji Cama ✓

Shyamji Krishna Varma

Lala Har Dayal

Virendranath Chattopadhyaya

Bhikaiji Cama published the revolutionary journal Bande Mataram from Paris, part of the wider network of Indian revolutionary activity operating from Europe in the early 20th century, alongside Shyamji Krishna Varma's separate London-based Indian Sociologist.

The Indian Sociologist, an anti-colonial newspaper published from London, was founded by:

Shyamji Krishna Varma ✓

Vinayak Damodar Savarkar

Lala Har Dayal

Madan Lal Dhingra

Shyamji Krishna Varma founded The Indian Sociologist in London and also established India House, a hub for Indian revolutionary students in Britain — Savarkar and Madan Lal Dhingra were both closely associated with this same London-based revolutionary network.

The journal Ghadar, published in San Francisco in Punjabi, Urdu, and English, was launched in 1913 by the:

Ghadar Party ✓

India House

Berlin Committee

Abhinav Bharat

The Ghadar Party, formed largely by Indian immigrants on the US West Coast, launched its multilingual Ghadar journal in 1913 to mobilize overseas Indians against British rule — a distinct revolutionary network from the separate London-based India House or the Berlin Committee.

The book The Indian War of Independence 1857, which characterized the revolt as a planned national war, was authored by:

V.D. Savarkar ✓

S.N. Sen

R.C. Majumdar

S.B. Chaudhuri

Savarkar's The Indian War of Independence 1857 controversially argued the revolt was a planned, coordinated national uprising rather than a spontaneous mutiny — a nationalist historiographical interpretation later contested by historians like S.N. Sen and R.C. Majumdar, who offered more cautious assessments.
