How we review submissions
Article 19 India Network lists public events that are lawful and peaceful, and it says where each listing came from.
What we list
- Public events: gatherings, vigils, marches, fundraisers, talks and calls that are open to attend, in person or online.
- Issue-based events: a law, a court decision, a detention, a policy or a civic right. Not party events or campaigns.
- Items whose details check out: what, when and where are specific, the source is named, and the event is peaceful.
What we do not list
- Anything that promotes hatred or incitement against a community, a religion, a caste, a region or a person.
- Anything that identifies an at-risk individual: names, faces, phone numbers, addresses or attendance lists.
- Party campaigns and election rallies, private meetings, and commercial promotions.
How we review
Every listing shows how it reached us and when it was last checked. A listing marked Confirmed with the organiser has been checked back with them; everything else is shared as received and is not independently verified. Items that cannot be checked stay out. Anything involving communal framing, named individuals, a march without a route or permission, or an unnamed source on a charged topic is held for a person to confirm before it appears.
Corrections and takedowns
Every card carries a Report an error link, and the organiser or an affected person can also email [email protected]. Factual corrections are made quickly and recorded. A request that involves someone's safety is actioned the same day, and a listing can be hidden without deleting the record behind it. Decisions can be appealed within 14 days.
Archive and privacy
When an event is over it moves to the Past list. Personal phone numbers and email addresses printed in the organiser's text are removed from the public page at that point. Posters are shown as the organiser supplied them; a redacted version is issued on request, and a removal request from an affected person is honoured for archived items too. The network never publishes personal details of at-risk individuals.
Maps
Maps use OpenStreetMap data. Boundary lines follow OSM's conventions and are illustrative only; they do not indicate any position by the network.
Who we are not
The network takes its name from Article 19 of the Constitution of India. It is not affiliated with ARTICLE 19, the London-based organisation, and nothing here is legal advice.
