Venkatraman, also a prominent Congress activist, claimed that he and his colleagues were the real founders of the Sutandira Sangu, See padamanabhan, R.A., Kumari Malar, August 1979. But the Government records testify to the involvement of S. Ganesan and K. Sadagopan only. The latter severed his connections with the paper after issues, when the Government gave a warning to the paper. There is no substantial evidence to prove that S. Venkataraman was the founder of the paper.
Abstract: The term "Journal" means a daily record, as of occurrences or observations. It includes a newspaper especially a daily one, a periodical or magazine especially published for a learned society. The journals reflected the emotions of the people and their feelings of national urge and grievances. The first book printed in Tamil was 'the Holy Bible' in 1573. Richard Johnston, a Government servant started Madras Courier, the first English paper in the Madras Presidency in 1785. The Madras Religious Tract Society published the First Tamil periodical namely the Tamil Magazine in 1831. Sudantira Sangu was started as a bi-weekly on 26th January1930 by. S.Ganesan and S.Subramanian. The term Sudantira Sangu literally means voice of Freedom.. It shaped the public opinion in favour of salt satyagraha and shortly became a legend in the history of the press and the nationalist movement in the Madras presidency. The enthusiasm of the public was kindled and maintained by this Journal and displayed in bold headlines the arrests of the leaders and published pictures of the huge protest processions organised.
