Origin and development of Hindi journalism

Prabhat Kishore
Contd from previous issue
The story of weekly “Matwala” published from Kolkata is interesting. The verse printed on its front page explains the spirit and objectives of the newspaper. Amiya Garar Rashi Sikar, Rivkar RamViram Bhara Pyala. Pite Hain Jo Sadhak, Unka Pyara Hai Yah Matwala.
Dr. Ram Vilas Sharma has written in relation to the Bharatendu era that despite not having a tradition of Newspaper-literature, the progress he made in a short time was the passion of the writers. Despite the harsh conditions, he proved himself to be tenacious. If the writers of that era had not shown this zeal and arrogance, they would surely have been crushed under the prevailing circumstances. Bharatendu ji’s journalism was non-partisan, fearless and in favour of justice. His journalism was discussed and praised everywhere not only in the country but also abroad. Undoubtedly, he was a prolific journalist.
The author is a technocrat & educationist
