Banhi (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist., lit. flute) was an Assamese-language monthly literary magazine founded in 1909 and edited by Lakshminath Bezbarua, a central figure of modern Assamese literature.[1] Initially published from Calcutta and later from Guwahati, the magazine carried writing on literature, language, science, religion, and society, and is regarded as one of the most influential periodicals in the development of modern Assamese literature after Jonaki. Bezbarua's editorials in Banhi addressed contemporary social, cultural, and linguistic questions, including the standardization and development of the Assamese language[2]. The magazine continued publication into the 1930s.[1]
