    To be honest I never liked The Hindu - the articles are most of the time too opinionated plus I do not agree with their left oriented politics. Nevertheless, I read it since almost everyone suggests Hindu and I don't want to miss on something that everyone else seems to be doing. If you have sociology optional, Hindu does have some good social issues. Nevertheless, if you don't mind reading news paper online, you can read IE for free.
  • I am studying The Indian Express since November (as main newspaper) and The Hindu (as supplement).

    Result : More than satisfied. :)
    IE is a complete package and recently The Hindu is performing very bad.

    But just take a look at editorials of The Hindu because some editors are very good of The Hindu too.
    And you need science and tech. of Hindu (though 2013 paper has diminished its utility).

  • Slice up both and cherrypick sections using an rss feed reader. Reading online for free for over 2 years. Very satisfied with my selections.

    Bhai, which sections of The Hindu are you following?

    I swear by thehindu... But don't you think the number of editorials & op-eds relevant for UPSC has gone down over the past few months?

    This is election season and they wont print newspaper for IAS aspirants exclusively.. Wait until May gets over.

    I challenge anyone anywhere to get a rank below 200 without studying Hindu. Consider this an open challenge from me.

    My base news paper is Indian Express and I supplement that with TheHindu 'editorials' only !! Lead Article in TheHindu goes over my head so I ignore them !

  • Challenge... accepted...
