History edit
Kesari was started in 1951 by prominent RSS activists in kozhikode including Shankara Shastri. Kesari was first issued in on Tuesday, November 27, 1951, with P. Parameswaran as the editor in chief. In 1962, a trust called Hindustan Prakashan was formed and Kesari's ownership was vested in it. Kesari, like other newspapers, was registered under the Press Act, which came into force in 1957.[4] Padma Vibhushan P. Parameswaran and R Venugopal have held senior posts in Kesari.[5][6][7]
Controversies edit
- An article in Kesari about former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru caused controversy nationally.[8][9][10][11]

- An article praising Pinarayi Vijayan appeared on Kesari's website, after which Kesari disowned it and claimed its account was hacked.[13][14][15][16]
