150 Years of The Times of India. There are not many newspapers in the world that have survived for 150 years, and when one does, there is cause to celebrate. On the subsequentenary of the Times of India, the only national newspaper to have reached that landmark in India, the Department of Posts issued a golden commemorative stamp.
One of the regular features of the ToI were cartoons by the world famous cartoonist and a favourite of middle-Class India was the inimitable Common Man featured on the cover as well as on the special postmark.
The reason for the longetivity of the Times of India, perhaps, is that long ago it became a veritable institution through which news and reports, opinion and analysis, concepts and comment passed.
Events shaped The Times of India, but The Times of India played an important role in shaping the memories of these events.
