Nationwide State archive · 36 jurisdictions

Every State and Union Territory has a political memory.

Explore the completed public-record archive for all of India’s 28 States and 8 Union Territories. Every dossier stands here as a permanent open page.

Editorial rule: a framework is not a finished history. We only publish Chief Minister, Governor, party, election, economy, population, heritage, nature or accountability claims after attaching a dated competent source. Allegations, investigations, charges, acquittals and convictions are never treated as the same thing.

Connected State view

UP: record, heritage & nature

See how public record, heritage, conservation and innovation can be read together without making false political attribution.

How a dossier grows

Evidence first, then comparison.

The same route applies to all 36 jurisdictions; published facts and research placeholders are deliberately separate.

Formation & boundaries Creation, renames and reorganisation acts.
Government & elections Constitutional office-holders, ministries, mandates and parties.
People & development Census, GSDP, budgets and comparable series.
Heritage, nature & accountability Competent authorities, legal labels and checked dates.

What every finished dossier will contain

Government

Formation, reorganisation, constitutional heads, Chief Ministers, ministries, alliances, President’s Rule and Assembly terms.

Parties & mandates

Election results, active and historical parties, splits, mergers, coalitions and recognition records—never an unsupported political scorecard.

People & economy

Census population, GSDP, per-capita income, sector mix, budgets and development indicators with source and boundary notes.

Heritage, nature & public record

UNESCO and protected-area records, CAG findings, commission reports and court outcomes with their proper source and legal status.

Question-bank rule

Only published facts become quiz questions.

The Knowledge Challenge can use India-wide facts already recorded on this website, all 36 published State and Union Territory dossiers, and the detailed Uttar Pradesh dossier. Questions remain tied to facts published with their source context.
