Saogat Explained
Saogat, also called Saugat (Presentation), was a leading Bengali literary journal. First published in Calcutta in 1918, its editor was Mohammad Nasiruddin.[1] Abdul Karim, a scholar, also edited the magazine,[2] which was published on a monthly basis.[3] It mostly covered the work of Bengali Muslim authors[4] and supported for the involvement of Bengali Muslim women in literary activities.[1] [5]
The publication of Saogat was kept suspended in 1922 due to financial constraints. In 1926, its publication was resumed and since then it continued uninterruptedly until 1947.
