लॉर्ड कर्झनच्या भारतीय पूरातत्त्वातील आवडीचा __________ यांनी त्यांच्या "हिस्टॉरिकल म्युझियम" या पुस्तकात उपहास केला होता.

The correct answer is Option C (Shivram Mahadev Paranjape).

Key Points:
• Shivram Mahadev Paranjape (1864–1929), famously known as *Kaalkarte Paranjape*, was one of Maharashtra's greatest nationalist essayists, orators, and satirists:
• Literary Satire and Nationalism:
• He edited the fiery nationalist weekly *Kaal* (started in 1898), using sharp irony and allegories to attack British imperial policies while evading press censorship.
• In his satirical piece / book *Historical Museum*, Paranjape mockingly analyzed Viceroy Lord Curzon's apparent passion for Indian archaeology and historical monuments, exposing it as superficial political vanity while ignoring the living plight of famine-stricken Indians.
• Paranjape was convicted of sedition in 1908 for his radical writings in *Kaal*.
• His collection of essays is compiled as *Kaalatil Nivdak Nibandha*.
• Key Takeaway: Shivram Mahadev Paranjape satirized Lord Curzon's archaeological interests in his work 'Historical Museum'.
