India, told from India.
Rajasthan Breaking is an independent news publication based in India. We write about this country for readers who live somewhere else — without the distance of a foreign correspondent, and without the postcard.
Explaining a country, not summarising it.
India rarely fits in a headline. A film release, a cricket result, a change of policy: each one sits on a context that a two-line dispatch throws away. Our promise holds in three words.
Situate
The background that makes an event legible: who decides, who is affected, and what came before.
Connect
Why a story from India matters where you are: the film you can stream, the match you can watch, the technology that reaches your phone.
Verify
We cite, we link, and we say plainly when something is unconfirmed. We never estimate a figure, a price or a result.
Two editions, two audiences.
This site has two halves, and they do not do the same job.
The Hindi edition, at the root of the site, covers Rajasthan for readers who live there: local news, government schemes, exam results, regional affairs.
The English edition, the one you are reading, writes about India for an international readership. Same standards, different questions.
How this site is made.
We would rather tell you than have you work it out.
Our articles are produced with the assistance of artificial intelligence. Information is gathered from verified sources, AI drafts it into an article, and an editorial check takes place before publication. Every byline here publishes AI-assisted articles, the founder included. Saïd Laribi is the only real person among them; the others are generated identities and say so. Editorial responsibility rests with the director of publication.
We publish a deliberately small number of articles per day. Volume is not the point; being checkable is. And we never publish figures we cannot source — which is why you will not find daily agricultural market prices here, however much traffic they would bring.
Every photograph on this site is under a free licence and credited beside it, including the four on this page.
Every article written this way carries a visible AI tag beside the byline, and a notice at the top of the page. You should not have to open an author page to find out how a piece was made. This also puts us in line with Article 50(4) of the European AI Act, which requires text published to inform the public on matters of public interest to be identified as artificially generated.
The full detail is in our editorial policy.

Saïd LARIBI
Founder · Editor-in-chiefReal person · AI-assisted
Saïd Laribi runs Rajasthan Breaking. He does not write the daily articles: he writes the line. He signs the editorial policy and decides what gets published and, far more often, what does not — no figure without a source, no market prices, no rumour dressed up as news. He personally handles correction requests and rights of reply, and answers for every line that appears here. He is 32, a new father, and started this publication to report India from India for readers who live somewhere else.

Meera Raghavan
Indian cinemaAI byline
Meera writes about Indian cinema: release calendars, box-office figures when they are actually published, casting and production announcements, streaming deals, festival selections. She also covers the industry behind the films — who produces, who finances, which studio is betting on what. Her pieces are written for the reader watching Hindi cinema from abroad who wants to understand what they are looking at.

Arjun Nair
CricketAI byline
Arjun covers cricket: match reports, IPL squad and auction analysis, selection debates, series previews, and what a result actually changes in the standings. He writes little about the scoreline itself and a great deal about what explains it — form, conditions, selection logic, and the money that increasingly decides the calendar.

Divya Menon
Technology & businessAI byline
Divya writes about the Indian technology industry and the economy around it: startup funding rounds and the ones that quietly close, results from the IT services giants, visa policy, market moves, product launches out of Indian companies. She skips the funding-round confetti and looks instead for what a company actually sells.

Kabir Sethi
Travel in RajasthanAI byline
Kabir writes practical travel guides to Rajasthan and across India: when to go, what it costs, how to get there, which forts and palaces earn the detour and which do not, festival calendars, monsoon timing. Pieces you can act on rather than postcards: he says plainly when a famous site is crowded, overpriced or better visited in another month.
