Vasant (magazine)
''Vasant'' () was a Gujarati-language magazine founded and edited by Anandshankar Dhruv, which ran from 1902 to 1939. The magazine played a key role in the development of Gujarati prose writing, and is considered to hold a significant place in the tradition of Gujarati literary magazines.

Following Manilal's death in 1898, Dhruv assumed the editorship of ''Sudarshan'' for about four years.

Dhruv stated the aim of ''Vasant'' in its first issue: Ramanbhai Neelkanth edited the magazine from 1912 to 1924, with Dhruv resuming editorship again from 1925. Irregular publicati ...
