Answer is Right!
Answer is Wrong!
The correct answer is: b) Independence movement.
The Kangleipak newspaper was founded in 1946 by Hijam Irabot, a prominent Manipuri nationalist. The newspaper played a significant role in the Manipuri independence movement, advocating for Manipur’s independence from British rule. The newspaper was also critical of the Indian government’s policies in Manipur, and was banned by the Indian government in 1958.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Option a) is incorrect because the Kangleipak newspaper was founded in 1946, after British rule had ended.
- Option c) is incorrect because the Kangleipak newspaper was founded in 1946, before Manipur achieved statehood in 1972.
- Option d) is incorrect because the Kangleipak newspaper was founded in 1946, before the 1980s insurgency in Manipur.
