‘The Musalman’, the handwritten daily newspaper in circulation since 1927, is published from which one of the following places?

‘The Musalman’ is the world's only surviving handwritten Urdu-language daily newspaper, which has been in continuous circulation since its founding in 1927 [1]. It is published from Chennai (formerly Madras), specifically from an office located near the iconic Wallajah Masjid [1]. The newspaper was established by Syed Azmathullah and is currently managed by his descendants. A unique feature of this four-page daily is that it is entirely handwritten by skilled calligraphers known as 'katibs' before being mass-produced using a printing press [1]. This traditional method of 'Kitabat' (calligraphy) takes approximately three hours per page to complete. Despite the prevalence of digital technology, the publication maintains its heritage status and secular ideology, serving a dedicated readership in Tamil Nadu and beyond [1].
