New India was a daily newspaper "which for fifteen years was a powerful instrument promoting Home Rule and revolutionizing Indian journalism."[1] In 1914, Annie Besant purchased an Indian newspaper, the Madras Standard, and changed its name to New India. She revised the editorial policy so that the newspaper supported the movement for Indian Nationalism.
