India in Data
Where India stands — from growth and jobs to schooling, health, the rupee and corruption. Every number comes straight from the body that publishes it, and every chart links to that source.
Daily. The rupee’s exchange rate is fetched every working day from the European Central Bank’s reference rates.
Monthly. Monthly averages are rebuilt automatically when a month closes.
Yearly. World Bank, UNDP and Transparency International figures are checked every morning and change only when they publish new numbers.

What we don’t chart, and why
We only chart what an independent or official body actually measures. There is no reliable measure of patriotism, “anti-national” behaviour or superstition, so we do not invent one. Corruption itself can’t be counted directly either — the two corruption charts here are a perception survey (Transparency International) and an expert assessment (World Bank), and we label them that way.
