New Delhi: Exactly 200 years ago, from an old press located in the bylanes of Calcutta, a weekly titled 'Udanta Martand' -- which translates to the "rising sun" -- was published, quite aptly heralding the dawn of Hindi journalism in India.
Its very first issue, edited by Pt. Jugal Kishore Shukla, which came out on May 30, 1826, proclaimed itself as a journal with a premise: "Hindustaniyon ke hit ke het".
