History
The Kohinoor started publication in July 1898 in Kushtia District after Rowshan Ali Chowdhury met Mir Mosharraf Hossain. During its initial years, publication was irregular and lasted for about a year. It resumed publication in April 1904 and promoted harmony between Muslims and Hindus; the two largest religious groups in Bengal. On that same year,[4] it also criticised the Urdu-speaking elite who looked down upon the Bengali language due to a superiority complex.[5] This second phase lasted up until around 1907. It made another comeback in April 1911 continuing on for another year.[2]
