New Delhi: While India is commemorating 75 years of independence, the federal government has yet to issue an official statement regarding the bicentennial commemoration of Urdu journalism, which played a pivotal role throughout India’s independence movement. A group of journalists, however, has organised a large celebration in the national capital on March 30 under the banner of the ‘Urdu Journalism Bicentenary Celebration Committee.’ The day-long event will be inaugurated by former Vice-President of India Mohammad Hamid Ansari, who will be joined by a slew of notable journalists from across the country.

March 27, 2022 marks the completion of two hundred years of Urdu journalism. Pandit Harihar Dutta published the first Urdu newspaper Jam-i-Jahan-Numa in Kolkata on March 27, 1827, with Pandit Sada Sukh Lal as its editor. This establishes that Urdu was an official language of all Indian people and not identified with a particular religious group during the independence fight. Indeed, this moment should have been of great happiness and pride for all of the Indians but it is unfortunate the federal government ignored it and adopted an ungrateful attitude toward Urdu journalism’s supreme and unprecedented contribution to the country’s independence cause.

“Since its inception, Urdu journalism has been at the forefront of promoting national values and strengthening communal harmony. It also played a revolutionary role during the anti-colonial freedom struggle and immensely contributed to the process of nation-building, said Masoom Moradabadi, Convenor, and the Bicentenary Committee.
