The first Indian newspaper was found in the city of Calcutta which was the capital of British India.
The name of this newspaper was Hicky's Bengal Gazette.
This was not only the first newspaper in India but the whole of Asia. This kept on being printed and distributed every Saturday until the East India Company seized the printing press.
Calcutta at that time was considered the hub of both government and commercial printing. Thus, the first newspaper was also printed there.
