Happy 140th birthday

I have been reading The Hindu for over 35 years now. I still remember how my family would fight to read the newspaper in the morning. On Sundays, we would divide the pages amongst ourselves and read them carefully. The editorial and opinion pages are of the highest standard. My only suggestion would be to increase news and analysis on district- and State-level politics and developments. This would not only reflect the issues faced by the common man daily, but also make the government at the lower levels more accountable.

I have been reading The Hindu for the past five years and have learnt to analyse issues without any prejudice. People, especially nowadays, hold their rigid presuppositions to be supreme. However, the newspaper presents facts, figure and anecdotes to put things in perspective and helps us perceive issues in a holistic manner.

I am 28 years old. I have been reading The Hindu since 2008. My primary and secondary education was in Telugu. It is The Hindu that has helped me in improving my English, in understanding current affairs, in learning how to understand an issue and argue, in solving Sudoku and word puzzles, and in getting a job. I can proudly say that I succeeded in various interviews and competitive examinations only with the help of this newspaper.

The Hindu’s vocabulary, explanations and opinions make it stand apart from other newspapers. I started reading the newspaper when I was preparing for the intermediate exam for the civil services. I am grateful to The Hindu as it has helped me prepare for the exam and gives me confidence that I will achieve my goal of becoming an IPS officer one day.
