Do you know which newspaper is the most popular in India? I've always thought it was The Times of India. It is true in one way as The Times of India is the largest circulated multi-edition daily but the circulation of other papers outdo for a single edition. The stats from Registrar of Newspapers of India give a clearer picture. The Times of India is a distant third as compared to its competitors Anand Bazaar Patrika and The Hindu.
