Epistle is a serious, independent news and analysis outlet based in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. We write about Indian politics, democratic institutions, media, economics, and civic life from a Southern, non-Delhi vantage point.
Our reporting is not neutral for the sake of an empty pose—we hold a clear point of view grounded in evidence. But we are strictly non-partisan and independent. We criticize the Left and credit the Right when the facts demand it, placing rigorous argument and primary source research before conclusions.
We believe that Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Kerala, Karnataka, and the wider Peninsular India have histories, political economies, and civic cultures that are central to the story of modern India, not peripheral to the capital.
