The commemorative postage stamp released in Chennai on 5 September 2026 marked the 75th year of which newspaper?
- A.Dinamani
- B.Dinamalar
- C.Daily Thanthi
- D.Malayala Manorama
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Dinamalar. The release records that the Vice President released a commemorative postage stamp in Chennai marking the 75th year of Dinamalar, and that the function itself was held to mark the paper's 75th year of publication along with the release of the stamp. Options A, C and D name other well-established newspapers of south India, and a candidate who remembers only that a Tamil newspaper was honoured may pick any of them, which is precisely how such distractors work. Two further details from the same release make the item safer to hold in memory. The newspaper was founded in 1951 with the resolve to serve as a touchstone of truth, and its founder was T. V. Ramasubbaiyer, whose contribution the Vice President recalled. The Vice President also praised the paper's 7-decade-long journey of upholding truth, patriotism and public service, and appreciated its Pattam publication meant for school students.
