When you say most original, you negates others and disservice to Aurobindo.

Bankim chandra, although not as much intuition and insight as aurobindo, but his works was the first hammer agnst the western thoughts superiority complex. His dharmatattva was lucid & insightful explanation of indian philosophy & traditions for english educated bengalis.
Above all Aurobindo. The foremost interpreter of Hindu Nationalism ever.
BEAUTY IN SIMPLICITY
Growing up in the Aurobindo Ashram, I saw this line printed on the cover page of every notebook. It is still the basic design philosophy that drives Hidesign.
-Dilip Kapur, President Hidesign
For Indians, it's always Vivekananda and for Westerners, it's always Gebser who would be mentioned along with Sri Aurobindo. He won't be given the sole distinction of being the greatest. The Mother recognised that way back in 1914 but the world is still confused about his status.

Thanks. Many will resent the superlative but once one realises the Himalayan height of Sri Aurobindo, there is no alternative.
Vande Bharat Express is the fastest train in India at present. Sri Aurobindo, similarly, is the greatest poet and philosopher but many are reluctant to admit this. They insist on plurality without any intention of attempting comparison for ascertaining who indeed is the greatest.
The name of Sri Aurobindo is often mentioned in "one of the greatest" lists. This is one of the most ambiguous and deceptive modes of describing him which in effect undermines his status. Make no mistake about it, Sri Aurobindo is the greatest Indian as well as in the whole world.

We Bengalis in the meantime spent time on crap literature all through this communist era,as
rightfully mentioned,that brought in degeneracy in the collective intellectual thinking of our society, heck we couldn't even translate or work on aurobindo literature till date.
Mitron, my first article in Indian Express today.
On the roots of democracy in ancient India, written jointly with
@SVOjha · " At this time, an India that sees its own democracy as a pale imitation of an Anglo-American system is neither good for itself nor the world"Here, suggestion is we should revive because it is our own and what we have now is from outside. · Yes, but point stands. The democracy we have today has very little to do with it. It's the western influenced Nehru and Ambedkar who shaped our democracy.
Then don't see (and be) a pale shadow. Instead see ourselves as proud inheritors of the enlightenment values and strive to take it fwd.
Exactly. They didn't revive it for the sake of it. They rejected their own society's orthodoxy, took old knowledge from outside and improved upon it to come up with new theories.
Instead of trying to revive some meaningless ancient values which may or may not be useful to the modern world.
And no, whatever Indian Renaissance thinkers may have been influenced by, it was not that which informed the democracy we have today. It is largely based on the western values. In fact, isn't that RSS's complaint about the constitution?
When columnists featured by RW websites Swarajyamag and Opindia start getting published in dailies like the Indian Express, it means that the print bastion has also fallen. Some of us had this misplaced faith that print media will somehow hold out despite the odds. Not anymore.
Sad to see mainstream Indian newspapers regularly publishing bunkum history pieces by right-wing authors in their op-ed pages. When people share those pieces, they don't see them as op-eds but the newspapers' editorial view. Today's Indian Express is a case in point.
