Dadabhai Naoroji's 'Rast Goftar': A Newspaper for Reform

In 1851, a man named Dadabhai Naoroji started a newspaper called Rast Goftar to share his ideas about how to improve life in India.

He wanted to make changes like helping women get educated and changing some religious practices.

The newspaper started because there was a fight between Muslims and Parsis.

Naoroji's newspaper wrote about these problems, and it quickly became popular.

It became a weekly paper because people liked reading it so much.

Later, Naoroji traveled to Europe and wrote about the modern life he saw there.

These articles helped Indians understand the world outside their country.
