This page explains how Hindu Research Portal approaches research, sourcing, evidence, and corrections for its historical, mathematical, scientific, philosophical, and cultural content. It is meant to help readers understand how a claim on this site is supported — not just what the claim says.
Hindu Research Portal covers a wide range of material — from ancient scripture and inscriptions to Vedic mathematics, astronomy, philosophy, and modern research connected to Indian history and culture. Because these fields mix very different kinds of evidence, we try to write in a way that is evidence-aware rather than treating every claim as equally certain. In practice, we try to distinguish between:
Where possible, we try to prioritize sources roughly in this order, while treating this as general guidance rather than a rigid formula:
This hierarchy is a guide to where we look first — it is not, by itself, proof that any individual claim is correct. Each claim still needs to be checked against what its specific sources actually say.
Where useful, articles may label a specific claim using one of the markers below. These labels describe how well-supported that particular claim is — they are not a judgment on whether a tradition, belief, or practice is "good" or "bad."
| Label | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 🟢 Well Established | Strong, consistent support for this specific claim from primary evidence and/or scholarly consensus. |
| 🟡 Debated / Uncertain | Some evidence exists, but interpretation, dating, attribution, or conclusions remain genuinely disputed or limited among researchers. |
| 🔴 Unsupported / Popular Claim | A widely repeated claim for which reliable supporting evidence is currently insufficient. |
For substantive claims, we try to follow a simple structure so readers can see the reasoning, not just the conclusion:
For example, an article discussing an ancient dating question might state the traditional date, note what textual or archaeological evidence bears on it, summarize the range of scholarly views, and flag that the exact date remains debated — rather than presenting one figure as definitively settled.
We try to present traditional accounts respectfully, as tradition, while being clear about where they diverge from what surviving historical evidence can independently confirm. Our goal is neither to dismiss tradition nor to present it as automatically equivalent to modern historical or scientific consensus — both would be misleading in different ways.
Content that touches on Ayurveda, yoga, or other health-related traditional practices is presented for educational and research purposes. We try to distinguish clearly between what is a historical or traditional claim and what is supported by modern clinical evidence. This policy page does not itself make any medical efficacy claims, and content elsewhere on the site should not be treated as medical advice — see our About page and site disclaimers for more.
Some content on Hindu Research Portal, including tools like Rishi AI, Ayurveda AI, and Ramanujan AI, is produced with the assistance of AI tools for drafting, organizing, research workflows, or language tasks. AI output is a starting point or aid — it is not itself primary evidence, and it does not replace the source-checking described above. Rishi AI and Ramanujan AI are educational simulations, not the historical people they reference; their generated responses are not verified historical thoughts, statements, or quotations.
We welcome credible corrections to historical, mathematical, scientific, and cultural information published on this website. When a significant factual error is verified, we correct the relevant content and, where appropriate, update the article's revision date.
Corrections are reviewed against credible evidence rather than accepted automatically. Not every submission is necessarily accepted — for example, if a suggested correction is itself unsupported, or reflects a genuinely disputed interpretation rather than a clear error. Where a correction is verified, we may update wording, sources, interpretation, and/or the article's last-updated date, depending on what the correction affects.

Where applicable, article pages may display author/editorial attribution, a publication date, a last-updated date, and a sources/further-reading list. We do not commit to a fixed review schedule for every article; updates happen as errors are identified, new information becomes available, or a section is revised.
Hindu Research Portal is an independent, non-profit, educational and research-oriented website maintained by a single developer. It is not a university, government institution, medical authority, or peer-reviewed journal, and nothing on this page or elsewhere on the site should be read as claiming that status.
