For this English-language paper, Girish Chandra Ghosh was appointed as the editor. Later, Harishchandra Mukherjee became its editor. Therefore, in some books, the name of Girish Chandra Ghosh appears as the founder of ‘Hindu Patriot’, whereas both Madhusudan Ray and Girish Chandra Ghosh played important roles in its establishment.
