Facts: Quick, checked news and clear explanations

Want short, verified answers about things you read online? This tag gathers clear facts, quick checks, and simple explainers on topics trending in India. No drama, just the key detail you need — for example, how many Mahindra SUVs sold in H1 2025, whether a phone supports FM radio, or if the CAG can audit Air India after privatisation.

What you'll find here

Short pieces that stick to evidence. You’ll see straight numbers (like Mahindra crossing 300,000 SUV sales in H1 2025), clear product checks (does the Infinix Note 12 Pro 5G have FM radio?), and direct takes on public events (is the Prime Minister attending a groundbreaking ceremony today?). We also include quick explainers around media behaviour — why some news channels push "masala" stories and what that means for viewers — plus lighter fact-style reads like odd or funny news items.

Some posts are factual summaries of company data, government statements, or product specs. Others are short analyses that separate opinion from fact — for instance, pieces that ask if a news network leans left or right, or whether a politician's actions are controversial. You’ll get the core claim, the source, and a plain-language note on reliability.

How we check and present facts

We prefer official sources where possible: company sales reports, ministry statements, product manuals, and audited numbers. When those aren’t available, we rely on credible outlets and multiple corroborating sources before we report a figure or claim. If a post is an opinion or a reaction, we label it clearly so you can tell analysis from verified data.

Why this matters: numbers and claims get repeated fast. A single figure like "300,000 SUVs" can be true but misleading without context — is that calendar-year, cumulative since launch, or quarterly? We add that context so you understand the timeframe and what the number actually means. For tech checks, we list the exact spec that proves the point, not just the claim: e.g., FM radio support comes from the phone’s official spec sheet.

Use this tag when you need a quick reality check. Search here for product specs, company results, short policy clarifications, and plain-language takes on viral stories. If you want a deeper dive, look for linked stories on the same topic in the site’s article list — but this tag is where you start when you just need the fact fast.
