The 'Rajasthan Kesari' newspaper was published by:

Explanation

Rajasthan Kesari is linked with Vijay Singh Pathik because the newspaper was used to bring peasant grievances into public discussion. In the Rajasthan context, that matters: the Bijolia and other peasant movements needed more than local protest; they needed public opinion. Pathik's publication helped turn complaints about peasant conditions into a wider political issue. This is why the answer is Vijay Singh Pathik, not merely because he was a freedom-movement figure, but because Rajasthan Kesari specifically belongs to his role in mobilising opinion around agrarian struggles in princely Rajasthan.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Jai Narayan Vyas is associated here with Tarun Rajasthan, not with publishing Rajasthan Kesari.
• (B) Hiralal Shastri was not the publisher of Rajasthan Kesari or the figure linked to its peasant-grievance role.
• (D) Arjun Lal Sethi is not the publisher named for Rajasthan Kesari; that newspaper and its public-opinion role belong to Vijay Singh Pathik.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan's freedom movement through nationalist journalism and peasant mobilisation. RAS repeats such links because newspapers, leaders and movements often appear as direct match-the-pair questions.
