The Statesman Talk
In January 1875, Robert Knight, had already established The Indian Statesman with backing from 24 merchants. A sum of Rs 30,000 changed hands, and Knight bought the Friend of India. He then shifted its publication from Serampore to Calcutta. For nearly eight years, the two newspapers were published simultaneously until in 1883, the Friend of India was incorporated with The Statesman and for many years, the newspaper called itself “The Statesman and Friend of India.”
The Statesman is one of India's oldest English newspapers. It was founded in Kolkata and is directly descended from The Friend of India (founded 1818). The Englishman (founded 1821) was merged with The Statesman in 1934. The Delhi edition of The Statesman began publication in 1931.
The Statesman has had an active web presence since the late 1990s and its website – www.thestatesman.com
