The Kesari : Marathi weekly started by Tilak, G.G. Agarkar, & V.K. Chiplunkar, it first appeared on 4th January 1881. They had begun by starting the New English School on 1st January 1880 in order to make English education itself the surest foundation of national regeneration, progress & solidarity. Later that year, after Apte joined their School, they revived their idea of starting a newspaper for the same purpose – make it affordable even to the middle class & educate them in what was going on in their state & the country. Since many newspapers were Anglo-Marathi to save themselves from the rigour of the Vernacular Press Act passed by Lytton (Viceroy April1873-June1880), they decided to start two separate but allied weekly newspapers. In order to facilitate the spread of knowledge & information among the weaker sections, the annual subscription of the Marathi paper, the Kesari, was fixed at one rupee excluding postage it was edited by N. C. Kelkar from 1897 to 1899, & again from 1901 to 1931. The annual subscription of its English counterpart, the Mahratta, which aimed to interpret the mind of Maharashtra to other provinces & the Govt., was fixed at rupees eight. The first number of the Mahratta, appeared on 2nd January 1881 & that of the Kesari on the 4th. In 1890, Tilak took over the proprietorship of both the papers. [Karandikar]
