From 1937ââto 1962 he was the editor of Dainik Jugantar Patrika (āĻ¯ā§āĻāĻžāĻ¨ā§āĻ¤āĻ° āĻĒāĻ¤ā§āĻ°āĻŋāĻāĻž). Vivekananda Mukhopadhyay re-established this traditional paper which was suffering from financial crisis. Edited Dainik Basumati, Satyajug, Bharat Katha magazine (Bengali: āĻĻā§āĻ¨āĻŋāĻ āĻŦāĻ¸ā§āĻŽāĻ¤ā§, āĻ¸āĻ¤ā§āĻ¯āĻ¯ā§āĻ, āĻāĻžāĻ°āĻ¤āĻāĻĨāĻž āĻĒāĻ¤ā§āĻ°āĻŋāĻāĻž). In the same sense, he took over the responsibility of editing financially stricken Dainik Basumati and "started the magazine." This magazine gradually became extremely popular due to his achievements. His, probably, the most notable authored work was a three-volume history-oriented omnibus, based on World War II, Dwitiya Mahajuddher Itihas/āĻĻā§āĻŦāĻŋāĻ¤ā§āĻ¯āĻŧ āĻŽāĻšāĻžāĻ¯ā§āĻĻā§āĻ§ā§āĻ° āĻāĻ¤āĻŋāĻšāĻžāĻ¸ (1, 2 and 3) Apart from journalism, he became famous for writing about war. His various writings were published on the liberation war of Bangladesh where he highlighted the importance of India's recognition and military assistance to Bangladesh. He wrote the description of the liberation war in various papers including Jugantar, which played an important role in forming public opinion in favour of Bangladesh. After Bangladesh became independent, Vivekananda Mukhopadhyay went there at the invitation of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. He was the president of Indo-Soviet Suhrid Sangh. Anti-war journalist Vivekananda Mukhopadhyay was associated with the World Peace Council. In opposition to nuclear testing, he wrote the editorial 'Tejoshkriyo Puishank' (Bengali: āĻ¤ā§āĻāĻ¸ā§āĻā§āĻ°āĻŋāĻ¯āĻŧ āĻĒā§āĻāĻāĻļāĻžāĻ). His fearless well-thought-out emotional discussions and sharp insights into all kinds of crises in the life of the country and the nation, from documentary analysis of the world situation, have a profound impact on the reading society. At the last stage, he was the editor-in-chief of two new newspapers, 'Dainik Satyajug' and 'Bharat Katha'. His oratory was as popular as his writing.
Editorialsâģ
Vivekananda Mukhopadhyay initiated the debate and state debate in Bengali. Authored four research books. They are â
- 'The Russo-German Struggle' ('āĻ°ā§āĻļ āĻāĻžāĻ°ā§āĻŽāĻžāĻ¨ āĻ¸āĻāĻā§āĻ°āĻžāĻŽ')
- 'Japanese War Diaries' (āĻāĻžāĻĒāĻžāĻ¨āĻŋ āĻ¯ā§āĻĻā§āĻ§ā§āĻ° āĻĄāĻžāĻ¯āĻŧāĻ°ā§)
- 'Unlocking West Asia' (āĻĒāĻļā§āĻāĻŋāĻŽ āĻāĻļāĻŋāĻ¯āĻŧāĻžāĻ° āĻŦāĻ¨ā§āĻ§āĻ¨ āĻŽā§āĻā§āĻ¤āĻŋ)

His concentrated pursuit of World War II and its international consequences over several decades resulted in the epic "History of the Second World War" (published in two volumes), a unique achievement in Indian languages. In his own words - "Most of my journalistic and editorial career has been spent dealing with armistice and international conflict. During and after World War II, as editor of the daily 'Jugantar', I published many articles on war and international politics. 'Japanese War Diary' and ' "Russo-German Struggle" is a work of that distant period. After those two books were well received by, the readership, I decided to write a comprehensive history of the Second World War. His book of poetry is the music of the century.
