Hindustan Times
IndiaThe Hindustan Times is an Indian English-language daily based in New Delhi, founded in 1924 and published by HT Media, which the Birla family controls. Its headlines centre on India and the United States, followed by Iran, Pakistan, Israel, Russia and China; politics leads the mix, with security next, then economy and society. Its stance reads as respectful toward Prime Minister Narendra Modi, mostly neutral toward India, and skeptical of the United States and Iran.
Political leaning and stance
The Hindustan Times treats Prime Minister Narendra Modi respectfully in every month measured, quoting him authoritatively and foregrounding his initiatives, while reporting critics without adopting their language; India as a country is covered neutrally, favourably in a few months. The United States is treated skeptically and critically for most of the period, and Donald Trump swings between neutral, critical and, once, favourable. Iran and Pakistan are met with skepticism, Pakistan mainly on security, though jailed opposition leader Imran Khan gets sympathetic coverage. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
Based on headlines from January 2026 to August 2026.

What Hindustan Times covers
India and the United States lead, followed by Iran, Pakistan, Israel, Russia and China. Politics dominates the mix, with security and economy next and society smaller, and diplomacy is the largest single sector, so world affairs take nearly as much room as home news.
