The Hindu News 

The Hindu is an English-language daily founded in 1878 in Chennai (then Madras). Ownership and publishing sit with the Kasturi family through The Hindu Group / Kasturi & Sons and related THG entities that also operate sister titles and digital properties. The paper’s reputation rests on national and Tamil Nadu political coverage, editorials, science and education reporting, sport, and a large correspondent network. Print still matters; the website and apps extend the same masthead. The group has used short links such as newsth.live to point readers at stories and services. This WhatsApp Channel, listed here as The Hindu News, is an official Hindu Group news feed: it publishes headlines, brief context, and links that resolve to thehindu.com or the group’s own short-link domain rather than to unknown blogs. It is a broadcast, not a letters page. Posts often cluster around morning briefs, Parliament and Supreme Court developments, Assembly politics in the south, business and markets, cricket, and culture. A carousel or a single-image card may summarise a print-page lead; tapping through should land on The Hindu’s site, not a lookalike. Corrections and clarifications, when the paper issues them, belong on the site and may be repeated here. The channel is English-language journalism. Readers who want Tamil or other group brands should look for those named products instead of assuming this feed will switch scripts. newsth.live appearing in a post is consistent with the group’s own short-link practice and is not, by itself, a phishing signal; still, the destination domain should be checked before a login prompt. Because the channel is official, The Hindu will not demand subscription money through a personal UPI handle in a forwarded message, will not hire reporters via a WhatsApp form that asks for Aadhaar copies to a Gmail account, and will not run lottery forwards. Paywalls and epaper access are sold on the paper’s own checkout. Language is English. Country is India. This directory marks the listing verified as an official news channel. For complaints, legal notices, and subscription help, use the contacts The Hindu prints in the paper and on thehindu.com—not a reply to a channel update, which the newsroom does not staff as a helpdesk.
