Anandabazar Patrika O Samasamayer Shatakatha by Abp Sangkalan [Hardcover]

This book chronicles the extraordinary journey of a century-old newspaper that became an integral part of Bengal’s identity. Founded in February 1922 by two freedom-seeking youth, Prafulla Kumar Sarkar and Suresh Chandra Majumdar, the newspaper was first published on March 13, 1922 (Dol Purnima)—printed in red ink, a color that alarmed the British authorities.

Over the past hundred years, it has evolved from reporting daily events to becoming a living historical archive, capturing not just news but also the rich literary and cultural heritage of Bengal. This book revisits the milestones of that incredible journey, offering a glimpse into the publication’s role in shaping and documenting history.
