Poornachandrodaya was the newspaper in which language?

  • A.Hindi
  • B.Marathi
  • C.Bengali
  • D.Rajasthani

Answer: B

The key gives Marathi.

The question sits among Madhya Pradesh items, and the press history of the state lists Purn Chandrodaya as a weekly published from Indore from 1860 in Marathi, said to be the first newspaper in the state in that language. That is what the key follows. I found this only in preparation notes and a college handout on the journalism of Madhya Pradesh, not in a primary or scholarly source, so treat the details as secondary.

One caution: a Bengali paper of nearly the same name, Sambad Purnachandrodaya, was published from Calcutta from 1835. If the question meant that paper the answer would be Bengali, but the Madhya Pradesh setting points to the Indore weekly. Nothing I found links the name to Hindi or Rajasthani.
