The first newspaper published in India was a newspaper written in English from Kolkata (then Calcutta) India, "Hickey's Bengal Gazette". It was India's first major publication, published in 1780.
Explanation:
- James Augustus Hicky published the first newspaper in India on 29 January 1780, entitled the Bengal Gazette. Often called ' Calcutta General Advertiser, ' people remember it simply as ' Hicky's Gazette.
- It was a two-sheet weekly newspaper that was very small. And the paper was filled with ads called The Calcutta General Advertiser. Actually, the front page was only full of ads.
- Hicky's Gazette was priced in the 1780's at Re 1, costly, but at that time equivalent to English newspapers. It was printed weekly, four or five pages long-two or three of them with news, opinion, and two other ads. There was a 67, Radha Bazar, Calcutta printing press.
