Editorial Policy

Indias.com is an independent, structured digital gateway to India. We publish encyclopedic reference content about places, people, culture, food, festivals and civic life alongside curated community stories. We are not a government website and never impersonate one.

We publish (a) editor-written or editor-reviewed reference articles about entities in our knowledge graph — states, districts, cities, villages, festivals, dishes, people, institutions, businesses; (b) approved community submissions labelled as such; (c) syndicated official information linked back to its source; (d) news-adjacent Pulse posts labelled by source type.

We do not publish fabricated facts, invented contact details, unverified accreditations, medical or legal advice, ratings/reviews we did not collect, prophecies about elections or courts, defamatory speculation, or content that mischaracterises a community. We do not accept payment to change editorial content.

Every article moves through: DRAFT → REVIEW → PUBLISHED → REVIEW-STALE → ARCHIVED. Only PUBLISHED articles are indexable. Drafts and stale pages carry a robots-noindex tag until re-reviewed.

Every published article carries the author, the editor who reviewed it, and — where the article uses AI-assisted drafting — a clearly-labelled "AI-assisted" ribbon with the human editor's name. Corrections carry a dated public log.

Anyone can flag a factual error via the "Report a correction" link at the bottom of every page. We aim to acknowledge corrections within 5 working days and publish resolved fixes to the corrections log.
