Summary

Description
English: Front page of the first issue of the Khalsa Samchar, a weekly Sikh newspaper founded by Bhai Vir Singh, 17 November 1899 issue.

Description of the newspaper's early-days (from the Bhai Vir Singh Sahitya Sadan, New Delhi, via [1]):

17th November, 1899, Bhai Sahib brought out the first issue of the weekly Khalsa Samachar, which besides Panthic news, contained valuable information about the tenets of the Sikh faith, elucidation of Gurbani, and imparting teaching of the faith in a big way. He continued this paper till the last breath of his life and it was apparent that his pen brought in the community such an awakening and created awareness which he had imagined at the time of launching this laudable endeavour. He always suffered financial loss in bringing out this paper but he expressed his joy at the success of the paper and suffered the financial loss willingly and continued the paper in high spirits. This paper has now completed 116 years of its life. This weekly newspaper is treading the path shown by Bhai Vir Singh Ji and serving the Panth.
