About us

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.

Our mission

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.

01

Situate

The background that makes an event legible: who decides, who is affected, and what came before.

02

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.

03

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 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.

Our method

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. Our author pages identify which contributors are AI-assisted, and 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.
