The Indian Express is an Indian newspaper started by Ram Nath Goenka, and is published from New Delhi.
In 1948, Ram Nath Goenka partnered with Lala Deshbandhu Guptato of Daily Tej Limited (http://www.getitindia.com/html/aboutus.html) to publish Indian News Chronicle, an English daily, from New Delhi. After the demise of Guptato, the daily was bought by Ram Nath Goenka and renamed as The Indian Express (http://www.indianexpress.com).
During the days of the political emergency (http://www.indiafirstfoundation.org/archives/articles/arc_dnm/2000/june2800.htm) imposed by the then Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi on June 25,1975, the Indian Express was utilised by Mr Goenka as a weapon to call to account the errant establishment (http://www.expressindia.com/about/about.html).
Goenka is revered today for his journalistic crusades to uphold democracy and as a tireless soldier (http://www.newindpress.com/ramnathgoenka/VP_Asks.asp) who fought corruption in the highest circles.
The Indian Express tries to emulate the highest standards of journalism as set by Goenka, and expresses its pride through its motto: Journalism of Courage.
