Shanibarer Chithi (meaning the Saturday Letter in English) was a monthly Bengal literary magazine published by Shaniranjan Press in Kolkata.[1] It was founded in 1929[1] by Ashok Chattopadhyay as the conservative response to the progressive literary magazine Kallol which was founded a year ago. It started as a weekly. Later it became a monthly.[2] The magazine was one of the major satirical publications in the country.[3] Sajanikanta Das joined the magazine from eleventh issue as the editor who made the magazine popular.[4]
