In 1923, Arya Samaji Lala Kushal Chand started an Urdu daily out of Lahore called Milap, which quickly became the largest circulated Urdu newspaper, known for its powerful nationalistic editorials. It also published Fikr Taunsvi's famed 27-year long ‘Kaagaz ke Chhilke' column. 2/
During Partition, riots in Lahore lead to mobs raiding the offices of Milap, and burning machines and stacks of newspaper. Reports claim that the office was closed for six weeks, after one of its employees was stabbed. 3/
At the time, the Milap office was located at the Mayo Hospital-end of Nisbet Road in a double-storey building, which after Partition - in keeping with a serendipitous literary tradition - was allotted to the Punjabi novelist and story writer Nawaz’s family. 4/
After Partition, The Daily Milap office shifted to Delhi, where it remains, till date, the largest Urdu newspaper of India, it's legacy preserved by @SuriNavin @rishi_suri
