Bengali language newspapers have been instrumental in shaping the socio-political landscape of Bengal and the Bengali-speaking diaspora since the early 19th century.
Prominent editors like Robert Knight played a crucial role in advocating for Indian self-rule and often criticized the policies of the British Raj.
The press became a vital tool for discussing social issues, promoting reform, and rallying support for independence.
