New Delhi, Apr 9 (UNI) There is a popular perception that most Muslims in India read Urdu newspapers; but a media survey in the Delhi-NCR has revealed that a major part of their population reads the Hindi newspapers despite "anti-Muslim bias, hostile editorial policy and lack of coverage."
According to the findings of the survey done to know as to how the community feels about this, an overwhelming majority of Muslims in Delhi-NCR and Haryana read Hindi newspapers and not Urdu, the language they speak in their daily life.
These are some of the findings of a survey conducted in typical Muslim neighbourhoods of the national capital as well as neighbouring Haryana state. A total of 20 Muslim localities of Delhi and five cities in Haryana were selected for the survey. All the respondents were Muslims.
