Bhaskar Pandurang Tarkhadkar (1816-1847) was an Indian journalist and an open critic of colonial British rule. He was the brother of Atmaram Pandurang and Dadoba Pandurang. He used the freedom of Press by Charles Metcalfe to write a series of eight letters called 'epistles' in the Bombay Gazette from July to October 1841. He wrote under the own name 'A Hindoo,' with his letters claiming that British Colonial Rule in India was "the most bitter curse India has ever been visited with." His epistles earned him the title of 'Second Junius' after the 1771 'Letters of Junius' which did harsh criticism of British government.^[1]
