While several legacy publications in India were inspired by the freedom struggle and often conceived to give voice to it, Rajasthan Patrika was started to achieve a different freedom – a desire for independent media.
Karpoor Chandra Kulish was born in 1926 in Soda village of Rajasthan’s Tonk taluka. He started out as a clerk in 1951 at Rashtradoot, one of the state’s oldest dailies started by Pandit Hazarilal Sharma. Soon, as per a LinkedIn post by the Patrika Foundation, he began “handling the magazine, editing, reportage and penning a weekly column under the pseudonym of ‘Ghumakkar’”.
