"Arrey Bhagyawan Dekho Taar Aya Hai!" was a typical conversation in many Indian families throughout the 1950s. Since the 1850s, the telegraph service, popularly known as 'Taar,' has been the backbone of India's telecommunications service. Whether it was a birth, funeral, wedding, job, unemployment, war, or accident, the telegraph impacted every element of Indian life. The British invented the telegram, among other things, in the 1850s, and it proved to be the beginning of communication in India. Today is significant because it was on this date in 1854 that the first telegraph was delivered from Mumbai to Pune.
