Explanation:

To understand the evolution of Indian journalism, it is essential to examine how newspapers emerged over time. The correct chronological order of the given newspapers is Amrita Bazar Patrika, Swarajya, The Hindustan Times, and Deccan Herald.

To begin with, Amrita Bazar Patrika was founded in 1868. It quickly became a voice of resistance against British rule. Originally a Bengali newspaper, it later transitioned to English to bypass colonial restrictions. As a result, it remained a powerful tool in Indiaโ€™s fight for independence.

Moving forward, Swarajya was established in 1921. This publication strongly advocated for self-rule and played a crucial role in mobilizing nationalist sentiments. Additionally, it provided a platform for freedom fighters to express their views.

Soon after, The Hindustan Times made its debut in 1924. Since it was supported by several nationalist leaders, it gained prominence as a leading publication covering political movements. Over time, it expanded its influence and became one of the most respected newspapers in India.

Finally, Deccan Herald entered the scene in 1948. Since India had just gained independence, the newspaper focused on regional and national affairs. As a result, it gained a strong readership, especially in South India. Even today, it remains a widely read newspaper.

In conclusion, these newspapers significantly contributed to Indiaโ€™s journalistic landscape. By tracing their history, we gain a deeper understanding of how print media shaped public opinion and influenced socio-political changes.
