ABSTRACT The publication of “Awahan” was a great landmark in the history of Assamese literature and also in the history of journalism in Assam. The Assamese periodical “Awahan” was published from Calcutta under the editorship of Dr. Dinanath Sharma from October 1929, eight years after the non cooperation movement. It had a deep impact on the minds of younger writers of Assam. From the political point of view the publication of “Awahan” was very crucial on account of the contemporary political transition of colonial Assam. The writings of “Awahan” were more or less nationalistic in nature. Certain issues of contemporary times received great importance in the periodical “Awahan”
