Question from BPSC PT 70, 2024

The correct answer is Option B: Aurobindo Ghosh.

Explanation: “New Lamps for the Old” is a series of articles written by Aurobindo Ghosh (later known as Sri Aurobindo) during the late 19th century. These articles were published in the newspaper “Indu Prakash” and were critical of the moderate approach of the Indian National Congress at that time. Aurobindo Ghosh advocated for a more assertive and radical approach towards achieving India’s independence from British rule. This work is significant in understanding his early political thoughts and his role in the Indian freedom movement.
