The Hind Samachar Group, also known as Punjab Kesari Group, after its popular newspaper, is owned by the Chopra family.
Like with several of India’s legacy news publications, the Group’s origin has links to the Indian freedom movement. When Mahatma Gandhi called on the youth to join the non-cooperation movement in 1920, the group’s founder, Jagat Narain was just 21 and pursuing law. He quit college to join the Lahore Congress and soon rose up the ranks.
