Milli Gazette is an English-language weekly that aims to express Indian Muslim aspirations and positions. The weekly has 16 pages, two of them in color.

Islamic writer Zafar Al-Islam Khan is the editor in chief. "The newspaper will work to be objective and focus on the achievements of the Muslims in India," he said. Khan said it might become a daily newspaper within two years.

The first issue had an essay on Islamic writers Kamal Dass, a short story, a feature on the Girls Islamic School in Chanay and an essay by scholar Wahid A-Din Khan entitled, "Islam is the Creed of the Third Millennium."

In its editorial, "Muslims and Media," the paper wrote: "Indian media generally neglects the 130 million Muslims of the country, even though that number is greater than the population of any European country or the entire Arab Gulf region. Despite their size, the largest minority of India does not get the attention that the smallest minority gets. Our aim is not only to cover Indian Muslims or Muslims, but the world from an Islamic point of view."
