Chinthamani was a Tamil language weekly newspaper in Ceylon published by Independent Newspapers Limited, part of M. D. Gunasena & Company.[1] It was founded on 1966 and was published from Colombo.[1] In 1966 it had an average net sales of 19,000.[1] It had an average circulation of 35,000 in 1973.[2]

By 1973/74 the Independent Newspapers publications had become vocal critics of Sirimavo Bandaranaike's government.[3] The government sealed Independent Newspapers' presses and closed it down on 19 April 1974 using the Emergency (Defence) Regulations.[4][5][6][7][8] Independent Newspapers resumed publication on 30 March 1977 but the three-year closure had taken its toll.[4][5][9] Due to financial problems, Independent Newspapers and its various publications closed down on 26 December 1990.[10][11]
