Who among the following was the founder of the radical nationalist newspaper 'Kesari' in Marathi and 'Maratha' in English, which served as powerful mouthpieces for anti-British sentiment?

💡 Solution & Explanation

Bal Gangadhar Tilak established the nationalist newspapers 'Kesari' in Marathi and 'Maratha' in English in 1881 to articulate anti-British sentiment and foster political consciousness. Moderate leaders like Gokhale and Naoroji ran different publications or advocated constitutional agitation rather than the radical nationalist tone championed by Tilak. These newspapers played a pivotal role in mobilizing the masses during the freedom struggle.
