Sudarshan (magazine)
''Sudarshan'' () was a Gujarati magazine founded and edited by Indian writer Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi. History While a professor at Samaldas College, Bhavnagar, the Indian writer Manilal Dwivedi started a monthly magazine, ''Priyamvada'', in August 1885. Its aim was to educate women. He discontinued it in September 1890 after realizing that it would not flourish so long as it addressed only women readers, and converted it into the monthly magazine ''Sudarshan'', expanding its scope to all of the topics he considered important, and aiming it at society at large. The motto of the magazine was ''Satyam Param Dhimahi'' ( sa, सत्यं परं धीमहि), meaning 'may we meditate upon the Supreme Truth'. After Manilal's death, his disciple and close friend Anandshankar Dhruv, at the insistence of Mansukhram Tripathi, took over the editorship of ''Sudarshan''. He held this post for four years, and after Dhruv started his own magazine, ''Vasant'', in 1902, the editorsh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi
Manilal Nabhubhai Dwivedi (; 26 September 1858 – 1 October 1898) was a Gujarati-language writer, philosopher, and social thinker from British India, commonly referred to as Manilal in literary circles.

He held Eastern civilisation in high esteem, and resisted the influence of Western civilisation, a position which drew him into conflicts with other social reformers of a less conservative outlook. He considered himself a "reformer along religious lines". Manilal's writings belong to the '' Pandit Yuga'', or "Scholar Era" – a time in which Gujarati writers explored their traditional literature, culture and religion in order to redefine contemporary Indian identity when it was subject to challenge fro ...

Mass Media In Gujarat
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a physical body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh less t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Magazines Established In 1890
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus '' Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
