History

Anandabazar Patrika is a Bengali daily newspaper headquartered in Kolkata, West Bengal and published by the ABP group. The modern newspaper was launched on 13 March 1922 by Prafulla Kumar Sarkar and Suresh Chandra Majumdar. The newspaper's official centenary material describes Prafulla Kumar Sarkar as its founding editor and highlights the publication's nationalist outlook during India's freedom movement.

The first issue was a four-page evening daily, and the newspaper subsequently evolved into a morning daily. ABP's historical timeline records that by 1923 Anandabazar Patrika had become a morning newspaper and had established news-gathering arrangements with agencies including Reuters, Associated Press and the Free Press of India.

Over the decades, Anandabazar Patrika developed into a major Bengali media publication with a strong regional readership and an extensive digital presence. Its current website publishes Bengali news while its ePaper service provides multiple regional editions.

The history of Anandabazar Patrika goes back to the development of Bengali journalism in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but the modern daily newspaper known as Anandabazar Patrika began its present journey on 13 March 1922. The first issue appeared on Dol Jatra and was printed in red ink. The newspaper's official history describes the publication as adopting a bold and uncompromising position against British colonial rule.

The modern newspaper was launched by Prafulla Kumar Sarkar and Suresh Chandra Majumdar, who were associated with the nationalist movement. The newspaper quickly became part of the political and cultural life of Bengal. ABP's centenary material describes the early publication as a newspaper that sought to serve ordinary Indians rather than colonial rulers.

During its early years, the newspaper expanded rapidly. In 1923, it became a morning daily and developed relationships with major news agencies. By 1925, it had expanded its page count and introduced new editorial and weekend features.

The newspaper's history also includes a long association with Bengali literature, culture and public debate. Its editorial and feature sections have played an important role in bringing journalism, literature and cultural commentary together.

Anandabazar Patrika celebrated its centenary in 2022, marking 100 years since the modern daily newspaper's first issue. ABP's centenary material continues to describe the publication as a major part of Bengal's media and cultural history.
