Summary

Description
English: Front-page of an issue of Aftab-i-Punjab [alt. spelt as 'Aftab-i-Panjab'], a weekly Sikh newspaper in Urdu founded by Diwan Buta Singh in 1872. This image is of the 4 February 1878 issue (issue no.4).

Further information (from: [1]):

Diwan Buta Singh was a famous journalist, writer, and printer of his times. He was a resident of Lahore City (now in Pakistan) and was owner of a printing press. His father Gurdial Singh was also a respected person of the Lahore City. Diwan Buta Singh was by caste a Kalal. He had also remained in the service of Maharaja Dalip Singh’s mother and was known as Diwan Buta Singh. During the fighting at Multan between the Sikhs and British, he was found to be in league against the British Government and was put under surveillance. On the annexation of the Punjab, Buta Singh was imprisoned in the Allahabad fort for seven years, due to his involvement to incite the people for rebellion. On release, he returned to Lahore and in 1866, established a press for the publication of a Law Journal, the Anwar-ul-Shams. In 1872, the first issue of the Aftab-I-Punjab was published by him. There was a branch of this press at Peshawar, and another at Ajmer. The Ajmer press was closed, but the Peshawar press remained in operation. It used to print the Rajputana Government Gazette. Although Diwan Buta Singh had not openly accepted tenets of Kuka sect after the arrest and deportation of Baba Ram Singh, he secretly kept his links intact with Baba Hari Singh at Shri Bhaini Sahib. He would communicate secret information to Hari Singh. Therefore, Diwan Buta Singh did a very commendable job by providing press to activities of the Kuka community as well as the nation.
