India's great novelist and poet Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay was born on June 27, 1838 in Kanthpura village of West Bengal.

The magazine ceased publication in the late 1880s but was resumed in 1901 when Rabindranath Tagore became its editor.
During the Partition of Bengal (1905), the magazine played an important role in giving a base to the voice of protest and dissent. Tagore's Amar Sonar Bangla, the national anthem of Bangladesh, was then first published in Bangadarshan.
