History of Urdu News

Here is a brief history of the origin of the Urdu language. It's a Lashkari (Soldier) language developed to make communication easier between Arabs, Turks, and other locals.

The idea of Urdu news was started by Harihar Dutta in Kolkata, 1822. Harihar Dutta started the first Urdu newspaper by the name, "Jam-i-Jahan-Numa. With his amazing idea of Urdu News, The Great Rebellion of 1857 influenced many small publication agencies to publish Urdu News and help the locals understand news in their local language.

The new era of Current Urdu News started after the year 1857. The most prominent Urdu News carrier paper was Oudh Akhbar published by Munshi Nawal. During the years the concept became popular and 20th century's three major Urdu Newspapers earned popularity:

• "Zameendar"- by Maulana Zafar Ali Khan
• "Watan"- by Maulwi Sanaullah Khan
• "Naqeeb-e-Hamdardi"- by Maulana Muhammad Ali Jauhar

In the history of Urdu News, the only weekly publication that covered political and religious news of the Muslims of Subcontinent was "Al-Hilal" by Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Similarly, the Inquilab made high waves in the revolutionary campaigns and can be credited for independence as well.
