Balmukund Gupt
Bal Gangadhar Tilak

The correct answer is: A. Deshbandho Gupta.

Deshbandho Gupta was a journalist from Haryana who opposed the Morley-Minto Reforms through his articles ‘Shivshambhu ke Chitte’. The Morley-Minto Reforms were a set of reforms introduced in British India in 1909. The reforms introduced a system of separate electorates for Muslims and Hindus, which was seen by many as a step towards the partition of India.

Deshbandho Gupta was a strong critic of the Morley-Minto Reforms. He argued that the reforms would only serve to divide India and weaken the nationalist movement. He also argued that the reforms were a betrayal of the promises made by the British government to the Indian people.

Deshbandho Gupta’s articles ‘Shivshambhu ke Chitte’ were widely read and discussed in India. They helped to raise awareness of the dangers of the Morley-Minto Reforms and to galvanize opposition to them.
