[*However, most of the Urdu newspapers in India don't have websites yet. Except the few mentioned above, most of them are far from computerization. But lately many papers have started online editions. There are many other websites on Urdu shayari but that's my collection to which I refer.]

Among the major Urdu newspapers of India are:


Roznama Sahara (Delhi, Lucknow, Kolkata, Kanpur, Gorakhpur, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Patna, Kolkata), Sahafat (Delhi, Lucknow, Dehradun and Mumbai), Hindustan Express (Delhi), Akhbar-e-Mashriq, Aabshaar, Azad Hind, Akkas (Kolkata), Aag (Lucknow), Qaumi Khabrein (Lucknow), Nadeem (Bhopal), Urdu Action (Bhopal), Inquilab, Urdu Times, Hindustan (Mumbai), Siasat, Munsif, Rahnuma-e-Deccan, Etemad (Hyderabad), Milap, Hind Samachar (Jalandhar), Pasban, Salar (Bangalore) and Musalman (Chennai).

Weekly papers like Nasheman, Nai Dunia, Alami Sahara also have a fair circulation. Urdu papers are also doing well in Kashmir. As far as circulation is concerned, the situation is far better in Pakistan where Jang alone sells over a million copies a day.

India-born entrepreneurs empower US voters



Shukoor Ahmed ran for a seat in the Maryland House of Delegates in 1998, after coming to America a decade earlier from Hyderabad, India. Campaigning door-to-door, he was surprised so many voters did not know who represented them!
