==Overview==<br />
New India was a newspaper founded as a means to spread news related to the Indian freedom struggle, and as a means to vocalize the views of its founder, the freedom fighter Dr. Annie Besant, through her editorials. It was in the same league as [[Gandhi|Gandhi's]] Harijan and [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak|Tilak's]] [[Kesari (Marathi newspaper)|Kesari]].<ref name="theo">{{cite journal |last1=Ram |first1=N.Sri |title='Dr Annie Besant's Work for Education in India' |journal=The Theosophist |date=2 October 2002 |volume=124 |issue=1 }}</ref><ref name="IT">{{cite news |title=Remembering Annie Besant: The woman who started Home Rule League |url=https://www.indiatoday.in/education-today/gk-current-affairs/story/annie-besant-839130-2016-10-01 |access-date=29 October 2018 |publisher=India Today |date=1 October 2016}}</ref><br />

==Activities and political stance==<br />
<br />
''New India'' was a pro Indian freedom newspaper, which simultaneously worked as a mouthpiece for the views of its founder Dr. Annie Besant. During and after the [[First World War]], the return to Gandhi to India, the involvement of Indian masses in the Indian freedom struggle (which until then had generally remained a topic of discussion only for the English speaking upper class Indians) and the vociferous involvement of [[Bipin Chandra Pal]], [[Bal Gangadhar Tilak]], [[Lala Lajpat Rai]], [[Gopal Krishna Gokhale]], [[Motilal Nehru]], [[Jawaharlal Nehru]] and others, the [[Indian freedom struggle]] began to gather momentum in places other than Delhi, Calcutta and Bombay. In 1914, Besant vocalized the idea of the inclusion of more Indians in making decisions related to India at a political and economic level. She called this freedom '[[Home Rule in India|Home Rule]]', similar to the home rule movement in [[Ireland]].<ref name="auto2">{{cite book |last1=Besant |first1=Annie |title=Annie Besant, An Autobiography |date=1 May 1999 |publisher=TPH |location=Adyar |edition=5 }}</ref> Regular columnists in ''New India'''s first decade included [[S.
