Mirat-ul-Akhbar (Template:Langx; Template:Lit) was a Persian-language journal in British colonial India founded and edited by Raja Rammohan Roy.[1] The newspaper was first published on 12 April 1822. It was published on a weekly basis on Fridays.[2] British journalist James Silk Buckingham was also closely involved in the operation of the newspaper. The Mirat-ul-Akhbar was not well-received by the colonial government,[3] and was termed to be theologically controversial by official W.B. Bayley. On April 4, 1823, the colonial government passed a Press Ordinance that introduced regulations against the Indian press, namely the requirement of a license to publish journals. In protest, Roy closed the Mirat-ul-Akhbar on the same day. The journal's final issue listed his criticisms of the Ordinance.[4]
