The first weekly paper published in India was Bengal Gazette.
A weekly magazine called the Bengal Gazette, billed as a commercial paper open to everybody but influenced by none, was first edited by James August Hickey in 1780. They started printing in English in India since it was a private English company proud of its independence from colonial influence.
