About The Breakdown
The Breakdown is an independent, data-driven journalism platform that covers Indian policy, politics, and society through the lens of evidence and analysis.
We believe that understanding complex policy issues requires more than opinion — it requires data, context, and rigorous verification. Every story on The Breakdown is built on a foundation of primary sources, official data, and cross-referenced claims.
Our Mission
To make Indian policy and governance intelligible to every citizen through data-driven storytelling, interactive visualizations, and rigorous fact-checking.
How We Work
- Every claim is sourced and assigned a confidence score
- All data is linked to its original source for verification
- Stories include interactive elements — timelines, charts, and evidence panels
- Our knowledge graph connects stories, topics, entities, and fixes
