Who among the following gave a systematic critique of the moderate politics of the Indian National Congress in a series of articles entitled New Lamps for Old?
Explanation
The series New Lamps for Old was authored by Aurobindo Ghosh (Sri Aurobindo) as a pointed critique of the moderate politics of the Indian National Congress, arguing for a more assertive and uncompromising nationalist stance. Sri Aurobindo was one of the chief writers and later co-editors of the nationalist paper Bande Mataram, using it as a platform for incisive political essays that contrasted moderates and extremists in Congress politics. His collected political writings and autobiographical notes document sustained attacks on moderate conciliatory policies and outline his alternative, more militant critique of constitutionalist moderation in that period. This identifies Aurobindo Ghosh as the author of the New Lamps for Old series and its systematic critique of Congress moderates.
