The 'Rajasthan Patrika' newspaper was founded in which year?

Explanation

Rajasthan Patrika dates to 1956, when Karpoor Chandra Kulish started it as a small evening paper in Jaipur. Forbes India describes it as having been "born in 1956" and started by Kulish. This is why 1956 is the precise year to remember, not merely a decade marker. The paper later grew into a reputed Hindi daily and became one of Rajasthan's most widely read newspapers, but the MCQ is testing the origin point: the founding year attached to Kulish and the Jaipur-based beginning of Rajasthan Patrika.

Why the other options are wrong

• (B) 1965 is too late; Rajasthan Patrika's birth was in 1956, with Karpoor Chandra Kulish as founder.
• (C) 1936 is too early; Rajasthan Patrika's founding is not linked to the pre-Independence year 1936.
• (D) 1947 may be a landmark year in Indian history, but Rajasthan Patrika is grounded in the 1956 founding by Karpoor Chandra Kulish, not in the year of Independence.

Concept

This tests the Rajasthan press and public-culture strand of the RAS syllabus, where founders, institutions and dates are often asked as direct factual anchors. Rajasthan Patrika recurs because it is tied to regional journalism, Jaipur and modern Rajasthan's public sphere.
