About Madras Courier

The Madras Courier is the first newspaper to be established in the Madras Presidency, British India. Published on October 12, 1785, it was the leading newspaper of its time. Selling for a princely sum of one rupee, it thrived for three decades.

Two centuries later, this legacy is revived digitally. Today, the Madras Courier serves a global audience of curious, intelligent readers interested in South Asian affairs. We curate interesting stories that enhance our understanding of the world in meaningful ways.
