Dinapathi was a Tamil language daily newspaper in Ceylon published by Independent Newspapers Limited, part of M. D. Gunasena & Company.[1] It was founded on 1964 and was published from Colombo.[1] In 1966 it had an average net sales of 11,000.[1] It had an average circulation of 12,100 in 1970 and 31,337 in 1973.[2][3]
By 1973/74 the Independent Newspapers publications had become vocal critics of Sirimavo Bandaranaike's government.[4] The government sealed Independent Newspapers' presses and closed it down on 19 April 1974 using the Emergency (Defence) Regulations.[5][6][7][8][9] Independent Newspapers resumed publication on 30 March 1977 but the three-year closure had taken its toll.[5][6][10] Due to financial problems, Independent Newspapers and its various publications closed down on 26 December 1990.[11][12]
