Mathrubhumi Online Newspaper
Mathrubhumi is a Malayalam language newspaper that is published from Kerala, India. Mathrubhumi was founded by K. P. Kesava Menon, an active volunteer in the Indian freedom struggle against the British. The word Mathrubhumi roughly translates to ‘mother land’. It is the second most widely read newspaper daily in Kerala, after Malayala Manorama. Based in the northern Kerala town of Kozhikode (Calicut), Mathrubhumi was founded in 1923 in the aftermath of Gandhi’s non-cooperation movement as a public limited company. This status makes it rare among newspapers, which tend to be closely held private companies owned by a single family.
