The Arunodoi Age, 1840-1880: Assam’s Monthly Magazine of News and Views Rise of the rationale
The recent decision of the Asom Sahitya Sabha to tell people about the 175 year old monthly magazine Orunodoi (Sunrise) really is gratifying as it will give us a glimpse of what the world of journalism was in those days.
Mind you, an annual subscription to Orunodoi in 1846 was quite costly: one rupee per annum. That was not the time of paper currency. You could pay your annual subscription in coins issued by the British East India Company, or maybe, coins minted by the local maharajas and rajas of Assam.
