Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) Dinabandhu Mitra wrote Neeldarpan.
Dinabandhu Mitra’s play ‘Nil Darpan’ was written in 1858-59 and first published in 1860, making it the earliest event. Satyendranath Tagore cleared the ICS in 1863, Swami Dayanand founded the Arya Samaj in April 1875, and Bankim Chandra’s ‘Anandamath’ was published in 1882; hence option (b) is earliest.
