   The Hindu is an English-language Indian daily newspaper founded and continuously published from Chennai since 1878. According to the Indian Readership Survey in 2012 it is the third most widely read English newspaper in India (after the Times of India and Hindustan Times) with a readership of 2.2 million people.[3] The Hindu has its largest base of circulation in southern India, especially in the states of Tamil Nadu and Kerala and it is also the most widely read English daily in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Headquartered at Chennai (formerly called Madras), The Hindu was published weekly when it was launched in 1878, and started publishing daily in 1889.
