History
Kesari was started in 1951 by prominent RSS activists in Kozhikode including Shankara Shastri. Kesari was first issued in on November 27, 1951, with P. Parameswaran as the editor-in-chief. In 1962, a trust called Hindustan Prakashan was formed and Kesari's ownership was vested in it. Kesari, like other newspapers, was registered under the Press Act, which came into force in 1957.{{cite web|url=https://theprint.in/india/rss-leader-wants-indias-economic-policy-to-be-drawn-from-hindu-religious-texts/343626/|title=RSS leader wants India's economic policy to be drawn from Hindu religious texts|first=Arun|last=An|date=January 2, 2020}} Padma Vibhushan, P.
