पुढीलपैकी कोणत्या वृत्तपत्रांच्या संपादकांना ब्रिटिश सरकारविरोधी लेखनाबद्दल तुरुंगवास घडला नाही ?

The correct answer is Option C (Jnyanprakash).

Key Points:
• During the colonial period, the British administration invoked sedition laws (e.g., Section 124A IPC) against nationalist newspapers that published anti-government content.
• 'Jnyanprakash', started in Pune in 1849 by Krishnaji Trimbak Ranade, adopted a moderate and liberal reformist approach. As an organ associated with the Poona Sarvajanik Sabha and later the Servants of India Society (G.K. Gokhale), its editors maintained moderate tones and were not imprisoned for sedition.
• In contrast, editors of aggressive nationalist journals faced arrest and imprisonment:
• Kashinath Vishnu Limaye ('Pratod' of Islampur) was tried and imprisoned for sedition in 1897.
• K.P. Khadilkar and Damodar Vishwanath Gokhale of 'Vishwavrutta' faced severe press prosecutions.
• Achyut Balwant Kolhatkar of 'Desh Sevak' (Nagpur) was repeatedly jailed for revolutionary and seditious writing.
• Key Takeaway: Editors of Jnyanprakash followed moderate methods and were not jailed for sedition, unlike Pratod, Vishwavrutta, and Desh Sevak.
