Dainik Basumati, one of the oldest Bengali Daily papers, was edited by Barindra Kumar Ghosh, younger brother of Sri Aurobindo Ghosh.

Dainik Basumati was a Bengali daily published from Kolkata by the Basumati Corporation Limited. It was first published on 6 August 1914 and stopped its publication in 2003.

In 1881, Upendranath Mukhopadhyay started the Basumati Sahitya Mandir with the blessings of Sri Ramakrishna as a publishing house in Beadon Street. Later he shifted his workplace to Grey Street and finally to the present location at Bowbazar Street. In 1895, inspired by Vivekananda Mukhopadhyaya started publishing Weekly Basumati, a digest of the news from all over the world. On 6 August 1914, the Dainik Basumati began. In 1941, the Bengal government cracked down on the daily. The publication of Dainik Basumati was stopped and Basumati Telegram was launched. (Source: Wikipedia)
