In the early twentieth century a group of Muslim journalists used newspapers to awaken political awareness among the Muslims of India. Their papers criticised British policy, defended Muslim interests and reported the troubles of the Muslim world. The government answered with press laws, demands for security deposits, closures and prison terms.
Three names stand out: Maulana Zafar Ali Khan with Zamindar, Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar with Comrade and Hamdard, and Abul Kalam Azad with Al-Hilal and Al-Balagh.
In the 1940s the task changed. Dawn, founded by the Quaid-i-Azam at Delhi, became the main English-language voice of the Muslim League and of the demand for Pakistan.
The usual error is matching the wrong paper to the wrong editor or language. Comrade was in English and belonged to Jauhar; Al-Hilal was in Urdu and belonged to Azad; Zamindar was in Urdu and belonged to Zafar Ali Khan.
Answer: Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar.
