==History==
The first recorded Hindi blog, {{lang|hi|नौ दौ ग्यारह}} (Nine Two Eleven), was established by Alok Kumar,<ref>Hindi Bloging Ka Itihas, Author- Ravindra Prabhat, Publisher-Hindi Sahitya Niketan, Bijnor, India, Year- 2011, p. 180, {{ISBN|978-93-80916-14-9}}</ref> who coined the term Chittha ({{Langx|hi|चिट्ठा}}) to describe the medium. The term was subsequently adopted by the community and became the standard Hindi designation for a blog. Initially, blog use was limited due to the difficulties involved in typing [[Hindi script]]. However, as the availability of Hindi typing tools became more widely available, the number of Hindi bloggers began to increase.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Soni |first1=Sudhir |title=New Dimensions Of Hindi Use For Computers Various Technical References |journal=International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research in Science, Engineering, Technology and Management |date=June 2018 |volume=5 |issue=6 |url=https://www.ijmrsetm.com/article/New--Dimensions--Of--Hindi--Use--For--Computers----Various--Technical--References-1737 |access-date=23 February 2026 |issn=((2395-7639)) |url-status=live}}</ref>

Since 2007, the number of Hindi blogs has rapidly increased. This was due to the advent of [[Indic Unicode]] support in various blogging services, the introduction of new Hindi typing tools such as the [[Google Indic Transliteration]] tool in [[Blogger (service)|Blogger]], and the promotion of Hindi blogging by mainstream media.<ref>Hindi Bloging: Abhivyakti ki Nayi Kranti, Editor- Awinash Bachaspati/[[Ravindra Prabhat]], Publisher-Hindi Sahitya Niketan, Bijnor, India, Year- 2011, Pages: 376,{{ISBN|978-93-80916-05-7}}</ref>

==Women in Hindi blogging==
By April 2013, the Hindi blogosphere comprised over 50,000 blogs, with approximately 25% (12,500) authored by women bloggers.<ref name="Timesofindia">{{cite web |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/allahabad/Blogging-in-Hindi-for-10-years-city-folk-win-laurels/articleshow/19670028.cms |title=Blogging in Hindi for 10 years, city folk win laurels |newspaper=The Times of India|access-date=2014-06-11}}</ref>

==Types of blogs==
In the early stages, most Hindi blogs were personal in nature, with only a limited number focused on specific topics and interests. By 2007, blogs began covering other topics such as [[Film|cinema]], [[technology]], [[science]], [[hobbies]], and [[photoblog|photography]]. In 2010, [[The Wall Street Journal]] started a Hindi blog called India Real Time, which later ended in 2017. It covered news, [[sport]]s, [[Bollywood]], [[politics]], and [[business]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pahwa |first=Nikhil |date=2010-09-17 |title=The Wall Street Journal Launches Hindi Blog - India Real Time Hindi |url=https://www.medianama.com/2010/09/223-the-wall-street-journal-launches-hindi-blog-india-real-time-hindi/ |access-date=2024-12-26 |website=MEDIANAMA |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=The Wall Street Journal shuts 'India Real Time' blog {{!}} India.com |url=https://www.india.com/news/agencies/the-wall-street-journal-shuts-india-real-time-blog-2-2294405/ |access-date=2024-12-26 |website=www.india.com |language=en}}</ref>
