Kesari is a weekly Malayalam language magazine affiliated publication of the Hindu nationalist volunteer organisation Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and it is also known as the mouthpiece of the RSS Kerala.[1][2][3]
Kesari was started in 1951 by prominent RSS activists in Kozhikode including Shankara Shastri. Kesari was first issued in on November 27, 1951, with P. Parameswaran as the editor-in-chief. In 1962, a trust called Hindustan Prakashan was formed and Kesari's ownership was vested in it. Kesari, like other newspapers, was registered under the Press Act, which came into force in 1957.[4] Padma Vibhushan, P. Parameswaran and R Venugopal have held senior posts at Kesari.[5][6][7]
