Abstract
History of the journalism in the Sub-continent (Indo-Pak) goes back to the 11th century with Waqa-I-Navees (Newsmen) during the regime of Mahmood Ghaznavi. Waqa-I-Navees were appointed to keep the government well informed about all important happenings. Though, Sultans of Delhi were the first to establish the system on sound basis, yet it were the Mughals, who really worked hard to make it flourish. In the 19th century the Hindus were more advanced than the Muslims in almost every sphere of life. In the field of Journalism Hindus dominated the Indian press and propagated their cause. On the other hand the Muslims remained only followers to establish their press. Some Muslim Newspapers were pro Hindu. Thus there were a few Muslim newspapers that really represented the Indian Muslim’s point of view. This paper will examine the efforts of the Muslims to establish their own Urdu / English press.
