I have been reading the the Hindu for many years now. Its one paper that doesnt spice its stories and I have really come to trust it. Its supplements, especially the one on business and science on Thursdays are excellent too. They are extremely informative and no other English newspaper in India can match the content in these. The language is good too but like with so many other papers, it perhaps isnt what it used to be. What it should do to compete with other papers is to give more coverage to local events such as films, plays, etc.
