It also operates the website dedicated to the writings of the late satirist Mujtaba Hussain, who was a former columnist at The Siasat Daily.
History
Following the annexation of Hyderabad by the Republic of India, The Siasat Daily was founded as a Urdu language newspaper by Jigar Saheb and Abid Ali Khan on 15 August 1949. The founders are described to have been Indian nationalists with the intent of "informing objectively to the population of the state, on local, national and international developments."
The paper was contrasted with the sister publications of Hind Samachar & Punjab Kesari which were founded around the same time as the Siasat. While the Hind Samachar Group had expanded across and beyond Punjab with editions in Hindi and Punjabi and an unified newsroom with a "Dickensian discipline", the Siasat is described to have been on a "civilising mission", had a "friendly and family like" newsroom with minimal profit motives and exempt of the reliance on advertisements. The paper would continue to rely only on Urdu editions without expanding into regions beyond Hyderabad or to other more profitable languages until much later. Despite this, between 1976–1996 the daily circulation of the publication's editions had reportedly increased by 330% from approximately 10,000 to 44,000. As of 2011, the paper has continued to uninterruptedly use the format of wall newspapers to publicise its editions in the city of Hyderabad since the day of first publication.
In 1998, the paper launched its own digital website; it was reported to have been among the first newspapers to adopt e-paper formats along with the likes of Dinamalar (Tamil), Andhra Jyothi (Telugu), Lokmat (Marathi), etc. According to the National Readership Survey in 2003, the publication had a total readership of approximately 326,000. While according to the Registrar of Newspapers for India, the print circulation of the paper was reduced to 25,732 by 2004. The 2005 ABC figures and the 2006 Registrar figures however notes the print circulation of the paper to have been 42,869 and 41,597 respectively. By December 2011, the monthly pageview of the Siasat website was estimated to be 4.23 million.
On 1 June 2006, The Siasat Daily had entered into an advertising alliance with The Hindu–Eenadu alliance and Daily Hindi Milap. In the subsequent years the paper launched editions in Bengaluru and Hubbali with primary investors for the expansion being the I Monetary Advisory. However due to the collapse of the investment firm, the editions were discontinued after June 2019.
Editorial stance
The Siasat Daily is noted to have been opposed to the emergence of sectarian political formations such as the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen, Akali Dal and the Hindu Mahasabha. The founder, Abid Ali Khan was a former member of the Progressive Writers' Association and remained as the editors of the newspaper. He was reportedly associated with leftists causes and had Soviet sympathies, the paper as such had described itself as being uninvolved in active politics but infused with a progressive spirit. The paper has also been a proponent of the usage of colloquial Hindi over the standardised forms of formal Urdu or Hindi.
