<i>The Hindu</i> English-language daily newspaper in India

The Hindu is an Indian English-language daily newspaper owned by The Hindu Group, headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. Described by The Times in 1965 as one of the world's ten best newspapers, The Hindu remains India's premiere left-liberal daily -- a national gazette with an unmistakably Dravidian flavor. The name of the newspaper is not to be confused with the Hindu religion, but is rather a reference to Hindustan. Former editor N. Ram, writing in "The Hindu: A Brief History of the Newspaper", explains that the gazette resolutely refuses to align its editorial policy along religious lines, seeking rather to represent the diverse cultural and religious heritage of the sub-continent. The founders aimed to create a newspaper that would be inclusive and cater to the entire Indian society, transcending religious boundaries. Indeed, since its first publication in 1878, and continuing to the modern day, The Hindu has taken a staunch uncompromising stand against ultra-nationalism, and ethno-religious fundamentalism, opting rather to reflect in its editorial style the signature Dravidian progressive zeitgeist. It began as a weekly in 1878 and became a daily in 1889. It is one of the Indian newspapers of record and the second most circulated English-language newspaper in India, after The Times of India. As of March 2018, The Hindu is published from 21 locations across 11 states of India.

The economy of South India after independence in 1947 conformed to a socialist framework, with strict governmental control over private sector participation, foreign trade and foreign direct investment (FDI). Through 1960–1990, South Indian economies experienced mixed economic growth. In the 1960s, Kerala achieved above-average economic growth, while Andhra Pradesh's economy declined during this period. Similarly, Kerala experienced an economic decline in the 1970s while the economies of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka consistently exceeded national average growth rates after 1970. South India first started to overtake the rest of India economically in the 1980s. Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Karnataka were noted by some to be more reform-oriented in terms of economic policy when compared to other Indian states. Over the last decade South India has grown at 8% annually. Future economic growth will be shackled by a relatively low proportion of the active age population to the number of dependents. Today, South India has about 20% of India's population, and contributes about 31% of India's GDP; it is projected to contribute 35% by 2030.
