What we cover

Kalam is a Hindi language daily for readers in Australia. We carry India and Australia in one masthead: politics and policy in Delhi and the states, the Indian economy as it lands in households here, and Australian news that changes a migrant family's week, including visas, tenancy, schooling, work rights, aged care, tax and consumer protection. Business, cricket, film and culture sit alongside the news, because those are how the language stays alive at home. Kalam has not started publishing; the sections described here are the ones we are building, and the band at the top of every page says so.

How we work

We report in Hindi first. Stories are commissioned, reported and edited in Hindi rather than translated from English copy, and our subeditors are native Hindi speakers who set headlines in the rhythm of the language. Every factual claim is tied to a named document, a public record or a person we have spoken with, and we say when a source has declined to comment. Reporting and opinion are separated on the page and in the web address. We do not sell coverage, sponsored material is labelled where it appears, and any commercial relationship is disclosed inside the story it touches. Material circulating on community messaging groups is treated as a tip, never as a source, and machine translation is not published unless a Hindi editor has rewritten it.

Corrections

We correct in Hindi and in English. An error of fact is fixed at the top of the affected story with a dated note saying what was wrong and what changed, and that note stays for the life of the page. Significant corrections are also gathered on a single corrections page so the record can be read in one place. Readers can ask for a correction through the contact page; we aim to reply within two working days and we publish the outcome even where we conclude that no correction was warranted. Complaints about conduct rather than accuracy go to the editor, who replies in writing. Kalam is published by SUKH SANDHU PTY LTD, ACN 679 292 392, ABN 49 679 292 392.
