Truth Brigade

Every story we tell changes something on the ground. Back the next one.

Truth Brigade funds the journalism that takes months — not minutes. India's most underreported stories, built from the lives of real people, not press releases. Every project is focused on a single issue. You choose the one you want to back. Your support goes directly into the reporting — and every rupee is tied to a deliverable.

Lifeline: Fight Medical Negligence

Lifeline: Fight Medical Negligence

Every day, patients die in Indian hospitals because of medical negligence — misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, medical errors that should never happen. Families are left with no answers, no accountability, and nowhere to turn.

Lifeline tells their stories. We go to the hospitals, speak to the families, dig into the cases, and bring the truth to light. Our reporting has led to the NHRC ordering government departments to investigate, the Delhi High Court flagging regulatory failures at hospitals, medical councils summoning negligent doctors, consumer commissions directing hospitals to produce records, and patients receiving compensation they were denied for years.

BPL Realities: The Invisible Lives on the Margins

BPL Realities: The Invisible Lives on the Margins

Bonded labourers trapped in brick kilns. Trafficked families losing children to forced work. Entire communities bulldozed overnight. Millions of Indians live below the poverty line but don't exist on any official list — no documents, no access to government schemes, no voice.

BPL Realities goes where the system refuses to look and tells the stories of people it has erased. Our reporting has led to the rescue of bonded labourers from brick kilns across multiple states, FIRs being filed against exploiters, and the NHRC putting district administrations under scrutiny for shielding those responsible.

EcoGuardians: Now or Never

EcoGuardians: Now or Never

Forest boundary pillars vanishing so land mafia can encroach. Tiger poaching covered up by the officials meant to prevent it. Coal projects fast-tracked through Adivasi heartland. Eco-tourism scams draining fragile ecosystems. These are not abstract environmental issues — they are specific crimes happening in specific places, and someone needs to investigate them.

EcoGuardians does exactly that. We were the first to report the Mussoorie forest scam — following our stories, nearly 4,700 missing forest boundary pillars were recovered. Our reporting on the Corbett tiger crisis brought the CBI's findings into public view.
