Khabar Lahariya (translation: News Wave[1]) is an Indian newspaper, published in various rural dialects of Hindi, including Bundeli, Avadhi and Bajjika dialects. The newspaper was started by Nirantar, a New Delhi–based non-government organisation which focuses on gender and education.[2][3] Initially seen as a women-only publication,[4] it now covers local political news, local crime reports, social issues and entertainment, all reported from a feminist perspective.[2] As of September 2012, its total print-run, all editions included, was around 6000 copies; the management claimed an estimated readership of 80,000. Since its digitalisation its outreach has massively extended.
