Aurobindo Ghose was the freedom fighter associated with the series of nine articles titled 'New Lamp for Old.' Published in the newspaper Indu Prakash from 1893 to 1894, the articles were a sharp critique of the Indian National Congress's moderate policies. Ghose argued that their methods of petitioning and constitutional agitation were ineffective and out of touch with the common people of India. The series advocated for a more radical and assertive approach to the independence movement.
