''Saraswati'' was the first Hindi monthly magazine of India.〔〔 Founded in 1900, by Chintamani Ghosh, the proprietor of Indian Press, in Allahabad,〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Official Website of Allahabad Nagar Nigam (Allahabad Municipal Corporation) )〕 its success under the editorship of littérateur Mahavir Prasad Dwivedi (1903-1920), led to flourishing of modern Hindi prose and poetry especially in Khariboli dialect. It became the most influential periodical in the Hindi literature during the first two decades of the 20th century. ==History== Based in Georgetown, Allahabad, Ghosh founded Indian Press in 1884, mainly to published educational books, though gradually shifted to publishing general interest books. However, Ghosh didn't have much experience in publishing literary works. Thus in late 1899, he wrote to ''Nagari Pracharini Sabha'' in Varanasi, which worked for promotion of Devnagari script, seeking help with editor and writers for founding a literary Hindi magazine. Eventually, first issue of Saraswati was published on January 1, 1900.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://indianpublishinghouse.in/Saraswati.aspx?AspxAutoDetectCookieSupport=1 )〕 Indian Press was also the earliest promoters and publisher of Rabindranath Tagore's work, including ''Geetanjali'', whose rights he held till 1922 before transferring it to Viswa Bharati University.〔 Dwivedi, the doyen of modern Hindi literature, remained its editors from 1903 to 1920, and provided a platform for upcoming writers in Hindi, where many writers of repute, including Premchand and Maithili Sharan Gupt got published. Through the magazine, he not only gave a new direction to Hindi literature by bringing in his social reformist agenda, but also exerted his lasting influence of the formation of style and sensibility during this twenty year period of Hindi literature. Today it is known as "Dwivedi Yuga" (Age of Dwivedi) after him. In 2013, President of India, Pranab Mukherjee while unveiling a statue Ghosh at Jagat Taran Girls' Inter College, Allahabad, remembered his "great contribution towards promoting Hindi language and literature." 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/allahabad/The-man-who-unveiled-Tagores-genius-before-the-world/articleshow/27990774.cms )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saraswati (magazine)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
