The ‘Bangdoot’ weekly was brought out from Kolkata itself on 10 May 1829. Published in collaboration with Raja Ram Mohan Roy and under the editorship of Nilratna Haldhar, this paper was originally in Bangla, which was also printed in Hindi as required. The verses quoted above the Hindi part of ‘Bangdoot’ were –
Bhutal Ki Yah Rit Bahut Thode Mein Bhakhe
Logani Le Bahu Lag Hoye Yahi Te Lakhe
Bangala Ki Doot-Poot Yahi Vayu Ko Jano
Hoye Vidit Sab Desh Klesh Ko Lesh Na Mano.
The life journey of ‘Bangdoot’ ended on July 30, 1829, after the release of only twelve issues. The weekly “Banaras Akhbar” was the first newspaper to come out of the Hindi region. In 1845, the paper came out from Kashi under the editorship of Shri Govind Raghunath Tathate.
