Which among the following novels of Sarat Chandra vividly reflected the revolutionary movement of India?

Answer: (B) Pather Dabi
Pather Dabi ('The Right of Way', 1926) by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay centres on the revolutionary Sabyasachi and a secret society working from Burma to free India; the British government banned it for sedition soon after publication. Srikanta is a semi-autobiographical novel in four parts about a wanderer, and Palli Samaj depicts caste and factional politics in a Bengal village. Other political novels to remember: Bankim Chandra's Anandamath (1882) and Tagore's Ghare Baire and Char Adhyay.
