Telegraph in print

IN Media Watch Briefs | 22/07/2013

The telegraph is now dead in India, after 163 years of useful service. New technology did them in. But at least two newspapers have the 'telegraph' in their name - The Telegraph from Kolkata, and Daily Thanthi from Chennai, 'thanthi' is telegraph in Tamil. Will these newspapers change their names, or by retaining it, remind the world there was telegraph in India once?
