Alternative Title: The Orunodoi: A Monthly Magazine Devoted to Religion, Science and General Intelligence
Publisher: American Baptist Mission Press, Sibsagor
Description: Orunodoi was the first newspaper-magazine of Assam. It was published in 1846 at a printing press in Sibasagar, by Baptist missionaries. Although the initial aim of this periodical was to popularize Christianity it soon outgrew this objective to become a beacon of light for the development of Assamese language and literature. It led to the flourishing of many stalwarts of Assamese literature such as Anandaram Dhekial Phukan, Hemchandra Barua and Gunabhiram Barua. The subject matter of Orunodoi was quite eclectic and involved history, science, astrology, religion, travel and trivia. It published articles (translated into Assamese) from various foreign periodicals and became a window for the Assamese literati to the outside world. The first editor of Orunodoi was Dr. Nathan Brown, an American Baptist missionary. Orunodoi was initially published in two sections: magazine and newspaper. However, in 1855 the newspaper section was discontinued. The orthography of the magazine changed in 1861 and the spelling of its name itself was slightly modified.
