Times of India, 15 August 1947
While searching for a article I came to a new online world of newspaper archiving. It gives us the glimpse of history, as it happened. It is really funny sometime to see how the predictions, political statements broke false with time.

Here is the list of free or pay, digital online Indian newspaper archives. Most were scanned from microfilm and stored in a gif/jpg/pdf format. Newer newspaper are available as full text that can be cut and pasted.

Here are the original first page prints of Times of India during the historical time-line of India. Google also archives many newspaper now. See here the article published in Times magazine in 1971.

The Times of India from year 2000
The Hindu from year 2000
Indian Express from year 1997

Unfortunately, there are no Indian newspaper archives available from 1947 era. But after little googling you can find some international newspaper archives. Google also offers archive search. http://news.google.co.in/archivesearch
