Samacara candrika (Calcutta, c. 1831-1878)

• Samacara candrika on FID4SA Repository

This newspaper of conservative Hindu opinion was descended from its predecessor Sambad Kaumudi. After a row between Babanicaran and other members of Kaumudi on religious issues, Babanicaran established a printing press of his own at Kalutola and started Candrika as a weekly from 5 March 1822. The antagonism between Kaumudi and Candrika lasted for a long time. Candrika, however, increased its circulation rapidly and turned to a bi-weekly from 1829 and finally into a daily. This news paper continued for a long period and recorded and criticised the most important steps on social reform in Bengal.
