What Is Punjab Kesari?
Punjab Kesari was founded on 17 June 1965 in Jalandhar by Lala Jagat Narain, who had arrived in the city as a refugee from Lahore in 1948 and first launched the Urdu daily Hind Samachar. Punjab Kesari grew into the flagship of what became the Hind Samachar Group, and today carries a daily circulation of approximately 1.57 million copies, making it North India's largest Hindi-language daily.
The paper publishes across Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, and Delhi, with its largest readership concentrated in Punjab — a notable distinction, since Punjab Kesari is a Hindi paper achieving market leadership in a state where Punjabi is the majority language, reflecting the size of Punjab's urban Hindi-reading population.
For advertisers, Punjab Kesari is part of a unique tri-lingual group structure: the same Hind Samachar Group also publishes Hind Samachar (Urdu), Jagbani (Punjabi), and Navodaya Times (Hindi, Delhi NCR) — letting a single advertiser reach Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu readers across North India through one group.
💡 Key Fact: Founder Lala Jagat Narain and his son Romesh Chander both gave their lives for the paper's editorial independence during the Punjab insurgency — a legacy of courage that still defines the masthead's credibility today.
