Editorial policy

Mission

Yatha Bharat exists to tell honest, well-sourced stories about Indian healthcare, food culture, AYUSH, and public health — written for general readers without dumbing down.

Sourcing

We prefer primary sources: government data (MoHFW, ICMR, AYUSH ministry), academic research, named expert interviews, and direct reporting. We don't pass off PR as journalism.

Authors and reviewers

Every clinical or health claim is reviewed by a credentialed clinician before publishing. Authors and reviewers are named.

Tradition and evidence

We cover traditional Indian food and AYUSH respectfully but evidentially. We don't conflate cultural significance with clinical efficacy, and we don't dismiss tradition because it lacks RCT-grade evidence.

Corrections

Material errors are corrected with a visible note + entry in /corrections/.

Conflicts of interest

Authors disclose financial conflicts. We don't accept payment for editorial coverage.
