The Most Bad**s Newspaper in History...
The incident took place back in 19th century when Brittish ruled over India.
When the Brittish government was so ignorant to Madras famine of 1876-1878 which killed over 5.6 million people, the regional newspapers began publishing articles in protest of Brittish governance and their policies. Specially Amrita Bazar Patrika, published in Bengali language came all out thrashing the Brittish in every column possible.
Lord Lytton, the then Viceroy of India was not pleased with this. He proposed an act called Vernacular Press Act which was unanimously passed by the Viceroy's Council on March 14, 1878.
Vernacular Press Act seized the freedom of regional newspaper to publish anti-Brittish articles.
The next morning, Lord Lytton woke up hoping to have confiscated anti-Brittish press but to his surprise there lay Amrita Bazar Patrika thrashing the Brittish government, but this time it was published in English.
Since the Vernacular Press Act only applied to Indian language newspaper, Amrita Bazar Patrika switched to English from Bengali in just one night.
That surely is one Bad**s newspaper in the history...
