About The Statesman Newspaper
The Statesman is one of India's oldest English newspapers. It was founded in Kolkata in 1875 and is directly descended from The Friend of India (founded 1818). The Englishman (founded 1821) was merged with The Statesman in 1934. The Delhi edition of The Statesman began publication in 1931. The Statesman Weekly is a compendium of news and views from the Kolkata and Delhi editions. Printed on airmail paper, it is popular with readers outside India. The Statesman (average weekday circulation approximately 180,000) is a leading English newspaper in West Bengal. The Sunday Statesman has a circulation of 230,000.
The Statesman has distinguished itself through objective coverage of events, its value as an honest purveyor of news emphasised at times of crisis such as the Bengal Famine of 1943 and the infamous internal Emergency of the mid-1970s. It is forthright in the expression of its views. Its pursuit of the truth has been relentless and often at considerable cost to itself, as when the government of Indira Gandhi, in gross abuse of power, attempted to suppress its voice and when the government of Rajiv Gandhi interfered with the grant of statutory clearances to its modernization plans unless the paper changed its editorial stance.
The Statesman prevailed, as the truth must prevail, and remains a favourite of readers in Kolkata and other parts of India.

The Statesman has an old world charm that you just cannot ignore. Their newspapers remain (mostly, unapologetically) black and white, and, stripped of ads and sponsored content, seem far sleeker. If you love the written word, then boy, will these journalists stoke your fires! If you want an easy to read app with minimal advertisements and distractions, then this remains the paper for you. Just, please get this app!

This is probably a left leaning source, but the name suggests it has considerable history. No harm in having a look.

As a Kolkata Bengalee, I was bred on The Statesman by my dad. Had an association with The Statesman till the time I was in college for 20 years of my life. Work took me outside Kolkata in 2003 and since then my relationship with your paper has been on and off. Now, thanks to this App I am able to read most of the paper even from abroad. Thanks especially for uploading the epaper in exact format as the print version. And no thanks is enough for continuing to retain "The Statesman" of old!!

It stops when navigated back from any article. Hope this will be shorted out. I'm a regular reader of Statesman Kolkata, but find this e-version more attractive.

This is a great app as far I have used, the only problem I'm facing right now is whenever I scroll down to load more topics the app gets force closed. Just need to fix it as soon as possible. The app is fine otherwise.
