Same question was posted here earlier. GDPR seeks to create a harmonised data protection law framework across the EU and aims to give citizens back the control of their personal data, whilst imposing strict rules on those hosting and ‘processing’ this data, anywhere in the world. The Regulation also introduces rules relating to the free movement of personal data within and outside the EU.

Question 6 of 6
6. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements about Maulana Abul Kalam Azad:
1.He was once associated with the revolutionaries of Bengal
2.‘Al-Hilal’ and ‘Al-Balagh’ were publications started by him
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Solution: c.
In the 1900s, he did not approve of the Congress movement on account of its ‘slowness’; also he could not join the Muslim League whose political goal he found unpredictable.
Thus he associated himself with the Hindu revolutionaries of Bengal in spite of their ‘exclusive’ and indifferent attitude to the Muslims. He managed, however, to convince them that the systematic exclusion of Muslims from the group would ultimately make political struggle much more difficult.
In order to politicise his community, Maulana Azad started from 13 July 1912 an Urdu weekly the Al-Hilal from Calcutta. Its influence was prodigious. He was politically and religiously radical. The paper shocked the conservatives and created a furore; but there were many Muslims ready to follow him.
In the pages of the Al-Hilal Maulana Azad began to criticize the ‘loyal’ attitude of the Muslims to the British, and the ‘hostile’ attitude of the British to the Muslim world in general. The Government of Bengal unhappy with its editorial policy, put pressure on the paper.
Meanwhile World War I broke out and the publication was banned in 1914 by the Bengal Government. On 12 November 1915 Maulana Azad started a new weekly, the Al-Balagh from Calcutta, which continued till 31 March 1916.
The publication of the Al-Balagh was also banned by the Government of Bengal and Maulana Azad was exiled from Calcutta under the Defence of India Regulations.
