The Hindu is India’s English-language national newspaper, as opposed to English version of a hindu-written newspaper, and because of that it is an important landmark for anyone who is remotely related to this rapidly growing market giant. The newspaper is not very strictly focused on business or local news, rather it encompasses world news and local highlights, sports and general content plus some very interesting and rather exclusive in-depth reports and interviews (Check out the interview with Italian culture-historian Carlo Ginzburg). Happily the paper is quite light on comment and opinion, since it is clearly aimed at international readers who are not to be impressed by India’s opinion big names, in so as much as they are probably not familiar with them. Also worthy of noting that The Hindu, as all major papers in the world, has a number of special features and magazines, most of which you can access and read in full for free.
