Editorial Standards

Clear explanations should make their evidence and limits visible.

Sources and attribution

We use original documents, official data and credible research where appropriate, and link the material supporting an explanation. Illustrative examples are identified rather than presented as reported events.

Facts, analysis and uncertainty

We distinguish reported facts from interpretation and opinion. For current affairs, articles should identify the event date, publication or update date and what remains unsettled. We do not describe an evergreen explainer as breaking news.

History and heritage

Documented history, textual tradition, cultural practice and uncertainty are kept distinguishable. Cultural meaning does not require turning every tradition into a verified historical claim.

Independence and useful reading

An article does not need a commercial link. Where a Dishantra resource is relevant, the connection should be optional and clear. General economic coverage is educational; it is not personalised investment advice.

Review and corrections

Material claims need to be checked before publication. When evidence changes or an error is identified, the affected explanation should be corrected with a clear update note.
