Saogat, also called Saugat (transl. Gift),[1] was a leading Bengali literary journal. First published in Calcutta[2] in 1918, its editor was Mohammad Nasiruddin.[3] Abdul Karim, a scholar, also edited the magazine,[4] which was published on a monthly basis.[5] It mostly covered the work of Bengali Muslim authors[2] and supported for the involvement of Bengali Muslim women in literary activities.[3][6]
The publication of Saogat was kept suspended in 1922 due to financial constraints. In 1926, its publication was resumed and since then it continued uninterruptedly until 1947.
