1. Nari Ank (Woman issue)
2. Shakti Ank (power issue)
3. Balak Auk (Boys issue)
4. Malviya Ank (Malviya issue)
Correct Ans: (4)
Explanation: The spiritual magazine “Kalyan” banned by the British Government due to its Malviya Ank (Malviya issue). “Kalyan” was a prominent magazine in India that focused on spiritual and cultural themes, aiming to promote Hindu values and traditions. The Malviya issue likely contained content or viewpoints that were deemed controversial or subversive by the British authorities, leading to its prohibition. This incident reflects the colonial administration’s efforts to control and suppress publications that were perceived as challenging or dissenting.
