The Indian Express is an Indian newspaper started by Ram Nath Goenka, and is published from New Delhi. New Delhi ( नई दिल्ली ) is the capital of India, and is part of the National capital territory of Delhi. ...
In 1948, Ram Nath Goenka partnered with Lala Deshbandhu Guptato of Daily Tej Limited (http://www.getitindia.com/html/aboutus.html) to publish Indian News Chronicle, an English daily, from New Delhi. After the demise of Guptato, the daily was bought by Ram Nath Goenka and renamed as The Indian Express (http://www.indianexpress.com).
During the days of the political emergency (http://www.indiafirstfoundation.org/archives/articles/arc_dnm/2000/june2800.htm) imposed by the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on June 25,1975, the Indian Express was utilised by Mr Goenka as a weapon to call to account the errant establishment (http://www.expressindia.com/about/about.html).
Goenka is revered today for his journalistic crusades to uphold democracy and as a tireless soldier (http://www.newindpress.com/ramnathgoenka/VP_Asks.asp) who fought corruption in the highest circles.
The Indian Express tries to emulate the highest standards of journalism as set by Goenka, and expresses its pride through its motto: Journalism of Courage.
