About us
The origins of The Statesman lie with the Friend of India, a newspaper started by a Baptist missionary, William Carey in Serampore (West Bengal) in the early 19th century. While a streak of evangelical zeal was evident in some of the positions taken by the Friend of India (founded 1818), its role in denouncing the practise of sati and its fierce attacks on the custom of infanticide – which involved children being thrown into the sea at the time of the annual Ganga Sagar mela – were notable. It found an ally in Governor-General, Lord William Bentinck, who took up the battle and first outlawed sati, and then deployed special officers to the mela to ensure that no children were thrown into the sea.
