This question was previously asked in
UPSC CAPF – 2023
A) Bandi Jiwan: Written by Sachindranath Sanyal. This is correctly matched. Sanyal was a revolutionary, and ‘Bandi Jiwan’ is his autobiographical account.
B) The Philosophy of the Bomb: Written by Bhagwati Charan Vohra. This is correctly matched. Vohra, a member of HSRA, wrote this as a response to Gandhi’s critique of revolutionary violence.
C) Indian Unrest: This book was written by Valentine Chirol, an English journalist. Annie Besant was a harsh critic of this book as it portrayed Indian nationalism negatively and linked it to figures like B.G. Tilak. Therefore, the pair “Indian Unrest : Annie Besant” is *not* correctly matched.
D) Desher Katha: Written by Sakharam Ganesh Deuskar. This is correctly matched. This book in Bengali was very influential during the Swadeshi movement, highlighting the economic exploitation by the British.
The incorrect match is option C.
