The news pages that shaped perspectives
From cutting out pictures of Gundappa Viswanath as a young cricket enthusiast to civil services and a distinguished police career, The Hindu has been a trusted companion, says the DGP
The Hindu, a daily English newspaper, holds a special place in the heart of a civil servant. From their childhood, they remember eagerly waiting for The Hindu to arrive daily, alongside an Urdu paper. As a young cricket fan, they would cut out pictures of Gundappa Viswanath from the sports pages. During their civil service preparation and subsequent career, they found The Hindu to be invaluable for understanding India and the world, particularly appreciating its insightful editorials and historical articles.
They credit the newspaper for playing a key role in their success, and continue to enjoy its comprehensive coverage and in-depth analysis. As The Hindu marks its 50th anniversary in Hyderabad, the author commends the paper for its significant contribution to the region's progress. They extend their appreciation to all the reporters they've worked with over the years.
