The commercial caste in India

Updated At : 06:14 AM Apr 30, 2015 IST

Every Province in India has a community of people who have specialised themselves in trade and industries — except Bengal and that is the reason why young Bengalees who have returned from England after learning some manufactory have not succeeded in obtaining the necessary local co-operation. So says a critic who postulates that when the sons of the big Bania families once begin to go to Europe for technical education, we shall see the real first step of an India awakened to the possibilities of indigenous industries.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
