The
city of Kolkata served as the capital in India during the British
Raj, until 1911. Once the centre of modern education, science,
culture and politics in India, Kolkata witnessed economic stagnation
in the years following India's independence in 1947. Regional
Bengali newspapers like Anandabazar Patrika, Aajkaal, Bartaman,
Sangbad Pratidin and Ganashakti are widely circulated.
The
regional and national English Kolkatta newspapers such as The
Telegraph, The Statesman, Asian Age, Hindustan Times and The Times
of India are sold in large numbers. Some of the major periodicals
are Desh, Sananda, Unish Kuri, Anandalok and Anandamela.
Being
the biggest trading market in Eastern India, Kolkata has a
substantial readership of many financial dailies including Economic
Times & Business Standard. Vernacular newspapers such as those in
Hindi, Gujarati, Oriya, Urdu, Punjabi and Chinese are also read by a
minority.
