A Bengali newspaper was published in 1876 in a small village of [[Magura Sadar Upazila|Magura]] at [[Jessore District]] in British India (now [[Bangladesh]]) by [[Tushar Kanti Ghosh]] and his father Sisir Kumar Ghosh. They named it ''Ananda Bazar'' after Tusharkanti's grandmother's sister Anandomayee. However, soon the newspaper died. In 1886, Ghosh published another newspaper, named after his grandmother Amritamoyee: ''[[Amrita Bazar Patrika]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2003/20030102/nation.htm#11 |title=The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Nation |website=www.tribuneindia.com |access-date=2016-09-10}}</ref><br />
