Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) Krishak Samachar

Explanation

Swami Sahajanand Saraswati was the leading peasant leader of Bihar:

  • he founded the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha at Sonepur in 1929;
  • he ran the Hindi weekly *Hunkar* from Patna, a voice of the Kisan Sabha;
  • he led the Bakasht struggle (1936–1939), in which tenants fought to keep the lands (*bakasht*) that zamindars were taking back from them.

*Krishak Samachar* is not linked with him in the standard accounts, so (d) is the answer.
