Indian Mirror : (1) English daily of Calcutta; “a Government journal masking under the disguise of an Indian daily” [SABCL 1:180]. It was founded in 1861 as a fortnightly paper by Manmohan Ghose with financial assistance from Debendranath Tagore. In 1863 it was edited by Narendra Nath Sen, who became its sole proprietor in 1870. In 1876 the paper was converted into a daily by Keshab Chandra Sen. (2) a British paper founded in 1903 by Alfred Harmsworth (q.v.).
... in 1875, and wrote glowingly about him in his daily, The Indian Mirror. This was a widely read newspaper among the young college students, and many of Ramakrishna's disciples came to hear about him through its columns. A street named after the paper still exists in Calcutta. And —pardon me for mentioning this —it was in the Indian Mirror Street that most of my brothers and sisters (including me!) ...
... Such a pitiful Page 140 exhibition will not increase the respect of the subject race for its rulers. The Indian Mirror comes out with an article on the selfishness of Indian patriots. According to this self-satisfied critic Mr. T. Palit and the Indian Mirror are the only unselfish men in Bengal. Rajas Subodh Mallik and Brajendra Kishore of Gauripur are notoriety-hunters who have... 08-September-1906 The Mirror complains piteously that the country is in the hands of extremists on one side and ultra-moderates on the other, while the voices of sitters on the fence like the Indian Mirror go totally unheard. It is hard on our contemporary. But he should realise that a time has come in the history of the nation when men must take one side or the other, if they wish to count for anything ...
... a school for society manners? Has he not given a lakh of rupees to the National Council,—an institution for which the Indian Mirror cherishes a lively want of sympathy? We call on the young gentleman to repent of his sins, fall weeping on the capacious bosom of the Indian Mirror and devote the rest of his possessions to founding a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to obsolete papers and out-of-date... Sri Aurobindo 24.Oct.1906 - 27.May.1907 Bande Mataram By the Way 13-April-1907 An old and venerable friend of our old and venerable friend the Indian Mirror weeps bitter tears over Raja Subodh Mallik. Subodh Mallik is a large-hearted and generous man, laments our friend's friend; but he is doing immense harm to himself and his country. Is he not partly ...
... Bande Mataram under the Editorship of Sri Aurobindo 24.Oct.1906 - 27.May.1907 Bande Mataram Instinctive Loyalty 26-April-1907 The Indian Mirror reflects nothing but its own self when it says:—"Nobody in the country, howsoever absorbed in the dreams of an Indian autonomy, wishes to see the British connection severed and the country left to her fate... dreamt of in the Mirror 's philosophy. That a country cannot prosper in the true sense of the term unless it be left to its own fate is a truism with all right-thinking men. The publicists of the Indian Mirror type have a comfortable gospel of their own revealed to them by a study of their own needs rather than those of the country. No political thinker has as yet sought to controvert the truth that... describe such diseased and abnormal sentiments as normal and instinctive is to mistake a slave for a man. It is highly prejudicial to our returning sense of self-respect that papers like the Indian Mirror should still be able to preach the gospel of servility. ...
... the Bengalee ," cries the Englishman , "then indeed all is over." Shabash ! The humours of Hare Street are mending. There is another kind of humour which pervades the columns of the Indian Mirror , but it is not so pleasing as the Englishman 's. The Mirror poses as a Nationalist organ, but its paragraphs and articles often breathe Anglo-Indian inspiration. Its comments on the official ...
... nment tempered by deportations. We do not think any section of Indian opinion is likely to rise to this lure. The Bengalee has already rejected the one-sided bargain with scorn and even the Indian Mirror has received it without enthusiasm. Coerce, if you will,—we welcome coercion, but be sure that it will rank the whole of India against you without distinction of parties. ...

Yet he has not left Shillong as yet, and disturbances are as rife as ever ...
... of a disinterested ardour for moral improvement or under the spur of an inoffensive philanthropic patriotism. This attitude they leave to saints and philosophers,—saints like the editor of the Indian Mirror or philosophers like the ardent Indian Liberals who sit at the feet of Mr. John Morley. They for their part speak and write frankly as politicians aiming at a definite and urgent political object ...
... Government refers, are, we presume, those in which we called upon the Hindus to defend their temples and their women from insult and outrage. Every Hindu paper at the time did the same, even the Indian Mirror and the Indian Nation , and we do not think we did anything more than our plain duty to our countrymen. The Lieutenant-Governor, however, takes exception not to the purport of our articles but ...
... and it is a privilege to get an opportunity to pay my respects to him and say a few words about the life of my beloved grand uncle. He was born on 30 th April, 1924 in a house in this very Indian Mirror Street. When he was five years old, his father, Prithwi Singh Nahar, in order to provide better education to his children, took them to Santiniketan, established by Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore. ...
... Bande Mataram under the Editorship of Bipin Chandra Pal 6.Aug-15.Oct.1906 Bande Mataram The Mirror and Mr. Tilak 28-August-1906 The Indian Mirror , which is now the chief ally of Government among the Congress organs in Bengal, has chosen, naturally enough, to fall foul of Mr. Tilak. Our contemporary, it appears, has heard that some people propose to... honour to Mr. Bhopatkar on his release from jail; his speeches on the occasion of the Shivaji festival were displeasing to the thoughtful and enlightened men who congregate in the office of the Indian Mirror ; and to sum up the whole matter, he is a man of extreme views and without "tact". Ergo , he is no fit man for the presidential chair of the Congress. It is interesting to learn on this uni ...
... Oct.1906 Bande Mataram By the Way 27-August-1906 It is sad to watch the steady intellectual degeneration of our once vigorous contemporary the Indian Mirror . Commenting on the formation of Labour Unions, the Mirror advises the promoters to make the suppression of strikes the principal object of their Page 113 efforts! Certainly, the... education, that the anti-circular boys should make it their chief object to put down picketing, and perhaps that a League is being formed with Babu Narendranath Sen at its head to "suppress" the Indian Mirror . We do not think the amazing timidity of our political leaders can be paralleled in any other country in the world. Is a National Congress established? Its object, one would think, must ...
... for our contemporary, for he can still understand that—"it is possible for a newspaper, as for an individual, to err at times and honestly to advocate views which may be mistaken." The Indian Mirror has, after all, found one good point in the armour of the "extremists", they will not stand any humbug, says our ancient contemporary; and no one will dare question the truth of his opinion, for... devotion, through good report and evil ," and the old leader is right, because latest experience shows that Indian publicists and patriots have good reason to stand in fear of reports. The Indian Mirror is surprised that we are resting on our oars when the Congress-bark should be fast sailing. The light that Page 183 the Mirror is reflecting is both dim and antiquated in these days ...
... servitude. The epoch-making pronouncement of the Indian Mirror is the chief source of joy and comfort to these allied powers. The Mahatma of Mott's Lane has waved his wonder-working wand and Nationalism is no more. Narendranath has spoken; the British Empire is saved. It is not surprising that the discoveries made by the Indian Mirror should have awakened admiring wonder and delight in Hare ...
... the meeting, that a teacher presided, another spoke and a student seconded a resolution. We too await with interest the action of the authorities in the matter. Our venerable friend the Indian Mirror has solemnly assured us that it should be understood that no Government, Conservative or Liberal, will countenance violent methods, such as the Extremists have hitherto employed. For this surprising ...

Workmen should not combine to get their rights; they must, like good slaves, appeal to the gracious generosity of their masters! The spirit of the ...

It says:—"Soon after his arrest, it was reported widely that Lala Lajpat Rai was going to be taken to the ...

The basis of this great political combination seems to be mutual admiration of the most effusive and affectionate ...
... earnestly to the task of self-preparation. Before we aspire to govern our country we must learn to govern our own selves." Such are the ratiocinations and exhortations of the prophet of the Indian Mirror . His powers of vision evidently excel the ability of common men and amount to something more than second sight. He sees Englishmen fighting our cause in and out of Parliament, where the ordinary ...
