It was established in 1918 by Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha & Rajendra Prasad and was initially a biweekly, later becoming a tri-weekly and then a daily. The newspaper was known for its nationalist outlook and its criticism of British policies, often facing legal battles and fines for its outspokenness.
