What this is

Jaago means “wake up”. Jaago GenZ makes short explainers about how power, money and government work in India, for people who are new to voting or soon will be.

Each video takes one question and follows it from start to finish: what the law says, what the records show, what the estimates say, and where each number comes from. The full transcript and every source are published on this site next to the video.

The nonpartisan pledge

  • We do not support or oppose any party, candidate or government.
  • The same test applies to every party and every state: what does the record say, and who says so?
  • We do not use party colours, symbols or slogans, and we do not repeat a party’s figure without a source.
  • An official figure comes before an estimate. An estimate is called an estimate in the same sentence.
  • When we get something wrong, we correct it in public, with a date. We do not edit quietly.

How the videos are made

Research and scripts are AI-assisted and checked line by line against cited sources before publishing; narration is an AI voice; animation is code-rendered.

A line that cannot be sourced is rewritten or removed. If an error is found after publication, it is corrected in public with a dated note. The steps are set out on the methodology page.

Languages

The videos are in English. Where YouTube offers it, they also carry Hindi and Malayalam audio tracks, and subtitles in all three languages.
