Description:

1818- First Vernacular Language Paper, Samachaar Darpan by John Clarke Marshman

Although Ram Mohan Roy was the owner, Kaumudi was actually published in the name of Bhabani Charan and Bandyopadhyay. The latter soon found Ram Mohan's ideas too radical and parted company to start a rival newspaper called Samachar Chandrika, which became an organ of orthodox Hinduism.

Sambad Kaumudi regularly editorialised against Sati, denouncing it as barbaric and un-Hindu. It was the main vehicle of Ram Mohan Roy's campaign against Sati
