Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Revered Hindu holy man Sathya Sai Baba has been hospitalised and put on breathing support.

The 84-year-old guru entered a hospital in Bangalore last week for lung and chest congestion. A hospital statement said he was stable yesterday, after describing his condition as critical.

He has a huge international following and devotees are flocking to his ashram in Puttaparti town in the southern Andhra Pradesh state. They consider him a living god.
