Sundari was a Tamil language weekly newspaper in Sri Lanka published by Independent Newspapers Limited, part of M. D. Gunasena & Company.[1] It was founded on 1973 and was published from Colombo.[1] It had an average circulation of 1,000 in 1973.[1]
By 1973/74 the Independent Newspapers publications had become vocal critics of Sirimavo Bandaranaike's government.[2] The government sealed Independent Newspapers' presses and closed it down on 19 April 1974 using the Emergency (Defence) Regulations.[3][4][5][6][7] Independent Newspapers resumed publication on 30 March 1977 but the three-year closure had taken its toll.[3][4][8] Due to financial problems, Independent Newspapers and its various publications closed down on 26 December 1990.[9][10]
