The Awadh Punch (or Oudh Punch) was an Urdu satirical weekly published from Lucknow, India from 1877 to 1936[1], founded and edited by Sajjad Husain. It took its name from the Punch, a British weekly. Some of its notable contributors were Ratan Nath Dhar Sarshar and Akbar Allahabadi. The paper was one of the first to publish political satire, especially protesting British rule, in India.[2]
