Correct Answer: James Augustus Hickey


Solution : The correct option is James Augustus Hickey

The first newspaper in India was published by James Augustus Hicky. It was called "Hicky's Bengal Gazette" and was first published on January 29, 1780, in Calcutta (now Kolkata).

Hicky used his newspaper to criticize the British East India Company's administration and its officials, which often landed him in legal troubles.
