Which newspaper was started as a Bengali paper but later changed into an English paper?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Amrita Bazar Patrika
💡 Explanation:
Amrita Bazar Patrika was founded in 1868 as a Bengali-language newspaper but switched to English in the 1870s to circumvent a law that tried to suppress vernacular press criticizing the British colonial government. This change allowed it to continue its nationalist commentary. The other options are either not Bengali-origin or did not make this language switch.
