There was a time, Newspapers were the only medium to get news about the world or nation, obviously with the exception of the radio :). We all know that India as a country is multi-religious and multilingual, with over 1600+ languages spoken all across the country. Some newspapers are from the 18th century which are running successfully even now. We all know it is impossible to get all newspaper and in today’s life we hardly get time to read whole newspaper. So here is a quick list of all the offline newspapers who have quite a nice newspaper websites in India which provides the same quality of news and information, maybe even better. And most of them are also providing epaper versions as well, so it becomes even more convenient for us to read the actual newspaper on the go, at least virtually.
Well since now we have the option of so many newspaper websites in India, it has become easier and faster to get local news as well as national & worldwide news.
