About Kesari

Kesari is an Indian Marathi language newspaper which was founded on 4 January 1881 by Bal Gangadhar Tilak, a self-rule activist in the Indian independence movement. Through Kesari, Tilak criticised British colonial policies, while promoting both Hindu nationalism and Hindu–Muslim unity. He was twice tried and imprisoned for sedition, in 1897 and 1908, for articles deemed inflammatory. Between 1924 and 1935, Kesari regularly published articles and editorials supporting Italian fascism, Benito Mussolini, and fascist Italy. By the 1940s, Kesari had become the newspaper of the Hindu Mahasabha, a far-right Hindutva political party, and of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, a Hindutva paramilitary organisation.
