Thomas Macaulay was the liberal colonial officer who formulated new rules to restore the freedom of the press in India. The new Governor General Lord Metcalf, the successor of Bentink came to power in 1835. Like Bentink, he was a liberal and held strong views in favour of freedom of the press. When appointed, he invited Lord Macaulay, the renowned liberal scholar, historian and politician, who was then the legislative member of the Supreme Council, to draft a Press Act presumably to be incorporated into the code which was being drafted by the Law Commission. Macaulay, who favoured the new act, pointed out that the existing licensing regulations were wrong and the press in India should be free.

About Rashundari Debi

Significance of "Amar Jibone"

2. Feminist Perspective: The autobiography provides a feminist perspective on the challenges faced by women in 19th-century Bengal. It sheds light on the limited opportunities, lack of education, and social restrictions imposed on women during that time.
3. Social Commentary: Through her personal experiences, Rashundari Debi also offers a critical commentary on various social issues such as child marriage, patriarchy, and the importance of education for women.
4. Literary Value: Apart from its historical and social significance, "Amar Jibone" is also appreciated for its literary value. Rashundari Debi's writing style and expressive language make the autobiography a compelling read.
Conclusion

Protestant Reformation Movement and its relation to religion
The Protestant Reformation movement was a significant religious, political, and cultural upheaval that took place in the 16th century. It was primarily related to the religion of Christianity. Here's a detailed explanation:
1. Background
- The Protestant Reformation was sparked by the dissatisfaction of some Christian individuals with the practices and teachings of the Catholic Church.
- It originated in Europe, particularly in Germany, and quickly spread to other parts of the continent.
2. Key Figures
- Martin Luther: A German monk and theologian who played a crucial role in initiating the Reformation by posting his 95 Theses on the door of the Wittenberg Castle Church in 1517.
- John Calvin: A French theologian who developed the theological system known as Calvinism, which had a significant impact on the Reformation movement.
3. Beliefs and Principles
- The movement was characterized by several key beliefs and principles, including:
- Sola Scriptura: Emphasizing the authority of Scripture alone as the source of religious truth, disregarding certain Catholic traditions and practices.
- Salvation by Faith: Emphasizing that individuals are justified by faith alone, rather than by good works.
- Priesthood of All Believers: Affirming the belief that all Christians have direct access to God and do not require intermediaries, such as priests.
4. Reformation Impact
- The movement led to the establishment of various Protestant denominations, including Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anglicanism, and others.
- It challenged the authority and power of the Catholic Church and resulted in the division of Christianity into Catholicism and Protestantism.
- The Reformation had profound social, political, and cultural consequences, including the rise of nation-states and the development of modern ideas about individual rights and freedoms.
In conclusion, the Protestant Reformation movement was indeed related to the religion of Christianity. Its impact on Christianity and European society was profound, leading to the emergence of various Protestant denominations and significant changes in religious, political, and cultural landscapes.

Explanation: Menocchio was an Italian miller who reinterpreted the Bible's message and faced the Roman Catholic Church's inquisition for his controversial views. He was not directly associated with the Protestant Reformation. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched. - Option B: Martin Luther - Ninety-Five Theses

This pair is correctly matched. - Option C: Louise-Sebastien Mercier - Index of Prohibited Books

He did not establish the Index of Prohibited Books, which was created by the Roman Catholic Church to regulate and control the reading material deemed heretical. Therefore, this pair is incorrectly matched. - Option D: Richard M. Hoe - Offset Press

Correct Match: Jyotiba Phule - Gulamgiri (1871)
Jyotiba Phule was a prominent social reformer and activist in 19th-century India. He is best known for his efforts to improve the plight of the lower castes and women in society.
About "Gulamgiri" (1871)
- Publication: "Gulamgiri," meaning "Slavery," was published in 1871.
- Theme: The book focuses on the injustices faced by the lower castes and critiques the caste system prevalent in Indian society.
- Impact: It aimed to raise awareness about the plight of oppressed communities and inspired social reform movements.
Other Options Explained
- B.R. Ambedkar - Sacchi Kavitay: This is incorrect as "Sacchi Kavitay" is not associated with Ambedkar. He is known for works like "Annihilation of Caste."
- E.V. Ramaswamy Naicker - Chhote Aur Bade Ka Sawal: This is also incorrect. E.V. Ramaswamy, known as Periyar, wrote extensively on social issues but "Chhote Aur Bade Ka Sawal" is not his work.
- Sudarshan Chakr - Gulamgiri (1871): This is incorrect since Sudarshan Chakr is not linked to the publication of "Gulamgiri." Jyotiba Phule is the rightful author.
Conclusion
Thus, option A is the only correct answer, highlighting Jyotiba Phule's significant contribution to social reform through his influential work "Gulamgiri."

Aarush srinivasan answered |
Monarchs
The Index of Prohibited Books was first introduced by the Roman Church in the 16th century. However, in 1558, it was the monarchs who began to maintain their own version of the Index of Prohibited Books.
Reason for Maintaining the Index
The monarchs maintained the Index of Prohibited Books in order to control the spread of ideas that they deemed dangerous or subversive. They wanted to maintain their authority and prevent any literature that could potentially challenge their rule or cause unrest among the population.
Impact of the Index
The Index of Prohibited Books had a significant impact on intellectual freedom and the spread of knowledge during this time period. Many important works of literature, philosophy, and science were banned and suppressed, limiting the access of the general population to new ideas and advancements in various fields.
End of the Index
The practice of maintaining an Index of Prohibited Books eventually fell out of favor as ideas of intellectual freedom and freedom of speech began to take hold. The last edition of the Roman Catholic Church's Index of Prohibited Books was published in 1948, and it was officially abolished in 1966.
