During whose reign was the official newspaper, 'Tripura State Gazette' first published ?
Answer: C
The key's answer is Maharaja Radhakishore Manikya (reigned 1896 to 1909).
Accounts of the press in Tripura place the start of the official Tripura State Gazette, the state's own organ for proclamations and administrative notices, in the reign of Radha Kishore Manikya, around the time of his accession and coronation at the end of the 1890s. It was a short-lived paper. These accounts are secondary, and no primary first issue was found, so the date itself is not firm; the reign is the part the key rests on.
The other rulers fit less well. Bir Chandra Manikya (1862 to 1896) is remembered for schools, handwritten newsletters and pamphlets, which came before the formal Gazette. Birendra Kishore Manikya (1909 to 1923) and Bir Bikram Kishore Manikya (1923 to 1947) ruled after it had started.
