'''''Prabasi''''' ({{lang-bn|প্রবাসী}}) was a monthly [[Bengali language]] literary magazine edited by [[Ramananda Chatterjee]].

==History and profile==
''Prabasi'' was founded by [[Ramananda Chatterjee]] in 1901 and ran for over 60 years.<ref name=chaudhuri/> It published many important Bengali authors, the most significant being Nobel laureate [[Rabindranath Tagore]] who published regularly in it from 1914 until his death.<ref name=chaudhuri/> "It is no exaggeration to say that [Tagore's] major creations reached Bengali homes through [''Prabasi'']."<ref name=chaudhuri/> There were over 350 contributors during its existence, including most of the major poet and prose writers of the day.<ref name=chaudhuri/> The ''[[National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh]]'' said "Prabasi's fame remains almost unsurpassed by any other Bengali periodical."<ref name=chaudhuri>{{cite book|last=Chaudhuri|first=Indrajit|year=2012|chapter=Prabasi|chapter-url=http://en.banglapedia.org/index.php?title=Prabasi|editor1-last=Islam|editor1-first=Sirajul |editor1-link=Sirajul Islam |editor2-last=Jamal|editor2-first=Ahmed A.|title=Banglapedia: National Encyclopedia of Bangladesh|edition=Second|publisher=Asiatic Society of Bangladesh}}</ref> From 1901 to 1905 it was published in [[Allahabad]].<ref name="namak">{{cite news|author=Namia Akhtar|title=Tea advertisements and the ideal woman in 20th-century colonial Bengal |url=https://www.thedailystar.net/opinion/news/tea-advertisements-and-the-ideal-woman-20th-century-colonial-bengal-1700641|access-date=13 February 2020|work=The Daily Star|date=12 February 1919}}</ref> Then it was headquartered in [[Kolkata]].<ref name="namak"/>

When ''Prabasi'' first appeared, it pioneered a mix of book excerpts, poetry and one-act plays, alongside reviews and essays.<ref name=kasbekar/> It also included serialized fiction, including Rabindranath Tagore's ''[[Gora (novel)|Gora]]'' (1907-1909).<ref name=kasbekar>{{cite book|title=Pop Culture India!: Media, Arts, And Lifestyle|author=Asha Kasbekar|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Sv7Uk0UcdM8C&pg=PA118|page=118|publisher=ABC-CLIO|date=2006|access-date=20 November 2012}}</ref> It also included articles on history, art, archaeology, sociology, education, literature and literary theories, scientific topics, and travelogues.<ref name=chaudhuri/> The magazine was known for its art and illustrations. It was the first ever periodical in Bengali to feature a reproduction of a photograph on its cover purely for the sake of illustration.<ref name=acharjya>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9A7QCwAAQBAJ |title=Women writers in Prabasi, a Bengali periodical: 1901-1920 |author=Nantu Acharjya |publisher=Partridge India |year=2016 |access-date=19 April 2016}}</ref>{{self-published inline|date=July 2020}} ''Prabasi'' gave the chance to women to prove themselves as writer.<ref name=acharjya/>

"Prabasi" literally means a "Bengali living outside Bengal",<ref name=ibr>[https://books.google.com/books?id=qzpMAQAAIAAJ&q=prabasi+magazine ''Indian Book Reporter''], volume 3, pp. 6-7</ref> which can be translated as "Exile". Chatterjee wrote in 1903, "In truth, we are Indians first and Bengalis next."<ref name=ibr/>

The sister magazine of ''Prabasi'' was ''[[Modern Review (Calcutta)|Modern Review]]''. Because of the initial poor sales of ''Prabasi'', Ramananda Chatterjee launched ''Modern Review'' in 1907, targeted to English-speaking Indians.<ref name=mitter>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=9mRTtkri8E0C&pg=PA121 |title=Art and Nationalism in Colonial India, 1850-1922: Occidental Orientations|author=Partha Mitter|publisher=Cambridge University Press|date=1994|access-date=20 November 2012}}</ref> ''Modern Review'' was a great success and was read nationwide.<ref name=mitter/>
