The newspaper Grambarta Prakashika was printed from the Mathuranath Press, or MN Press. Grambarta Prakashika was an important monthly of the nineteenth century. It first appeared in April 1863 under the editorship of Kangal Harinath Majumdar. From the following year (Asharh of Bangla 1271) it became a fortnightly, and from 1871 (Baishakh of Bangla 1278) it became a weekly.
In the early days the paper was printed from Kolkata's Girish Bidyaratna Press; later, when the Mathuranath press was installed at Kumarkhali in 1864, it came to be printed there. In 1873 this printing house was donated to Harinath by Mathuranath Maitreya, father of the renowned historian Akshaykumar Maitreya.
Grambarta Prakashika carried essays on literature, philosophy and science. By publishing articles and news protesting the social and political injustices of the day, Harinath won enormous fame at the time. He was uncompromising towards the British indigo planters; braving every kind of obstacle, he published freely the tales of the exploitation and oppression by moneylenders and indigo-planter sahibs.
Renowned scholars of the Bengali language and literature of the day wrote for Grambarta Prakashika. Rabindranath's essays on various subjects, rhymes and the like were also published in it. The literary career of the renowned Muslim writer Mir Mosharraf Hossain too had its first lessons through this paper: he was at first one of its mofussil correspondents, and many of his writings appeared in the paper while he was still a student. Harinath was his literary guru. It was through this paper that he later came to be known as the introducer of the synthesising current in modern Bengali literature written by Muslims — a current followed by many Muslim writers afterwards. The literary career of Jolodhor Sen, writer and journalist famous for his Himalaya travelogue, also began through this paper.
After editing Grambarta Prakashika for eighteen years, Harinath gave up journalism and devoted himself to religious practice. Through this paper, over a long period, he fought in Bengal for the spread of education and against every kind of exploitation.
