Mirat-ul-Akhbar

'Mirror of News') was a Persian-language journal in British colonial India founded and edited by Raja Rammohan Roy.

The Mirat-ul-Akhbar was not well-received by the colonial government,[3] and was termed to be theologically controversial by official W.B.

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.

The journal's final issue listed his criticisms of the Ordinance.
