Arunodoi
Arunodoi was the first Assamese language magazine, which was published from Sivsagar. It was published for the first time in 1st January, 1846. The first editor of this magazine was Dr. Nathan Brown,who was a Baptist Missionary. The first publisher was Oliver Thomas Cutter. Arunodoi not only a magazine, but also used as a newspaper which published article on various topic of Assam including 'Natok'(Drama), poems,current affairs of Assam. It also contributed in the Assamese language revivalist movement. To revive the Assamese language, the Arunodoi also published articles on Assamese grammar and sometimes it also used as Assamese dictionary. In the era of Arunodoi, there were many new Assamese words were introduced. This magazine contributed very much in the formation of Assamese language in a new way. It also included articles on history of Assam to growth the nationalism among the Assamese people. For the example, 'The Deodhai Asom Buranjee', 'Puroni Asom Buranjee', 'Kamarupa Buranjee', were published for the first time in history in this magazine, which contributed to rise and growth of nationalism to revive Assamese language and through out the Bengali language(which was the official language of Assam from 1836 to 1872) from Assam. But beside this, the main aim of the introduction of Arunodoi was to spread Christianity in Assam. Whatever the reason behind the introduction of Arunodoi was;but this magazine contributed a lots towards the Assamese literature. Some very famous writers and intelligentsia of Arunodoi Era are: Anandaram Dhekial Phukan, Hem Chandra Baruah, Nidhi Levi Farewell etc,who contributed their efforts in making the history of Assam in the field of Assamese literature. But the magazine was closed due to irregularity from 1882. But we can't deny the contribution of Arunodoi in the Assamese society. Himsikha (talk) 09:17, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
