The Mohammadi was a Bengali language monthly art journal. It was founded by Mohammad Akram Khan who worked as its editor.[1][2]
The Mohammadi was founded in August 1927 in Kolkata, Bengal Presidency, British Raj by Mohammad Akram Khan. The purpose of the Ahmadi was to shape a unique literary culture of Bengali Muslims. It was supportive of the two nation theory of Mohammed Ali Jinnah. It closed down for a while and reopened in 1937. It supported Pakistan and the partition of India. It moved to Dhaka, East Pakistan after the Partition of India.[3] Muhammad Wajed Ali served as its editor for a while.[4]
Its first issue in Dhaka was published in December 1949. It was edited by Mujibur Rahman Khan. A number of issues were edited by Akram Khan and Badrul Anam Khan. The magazine published stories by Bengali Muslim authors like Sufia Kamal, Shawkat Osman, Abdullah Al-Muti Sharafuddin and Alauddin Al Azad. The magazine because of its pro-Pakistan and Muslim position opposed Bengali nationalism. Its last issue was published in 1970, one year before the Independence of Bangladesh.[3]
