The State of the Mind began as more than just a publication—it was a conviction, a calling, and an unshakable belief that investigative journalism is not a privilege for the few, but a duty owed to all. Founded in Mauritius and based in both Port Louis and London, our perspective is shaped by two worlds: the historical crossroads of an island nation at the heart of the Indian Ocean, and the political, economic, and cultural pulse of one of the world’s most influential capitals. This dual presence enables us to examine local events through a global lens—and global events through the lived realities of everyday people.

From our earliest days, we committed ourselves to asking the questions others avoided and pursuing the stories others abandoned. We have confronted entrenched power, scrutinised corruption, and exposed the mechanisms of state capture. We have documented inequality and social change, illuminated stories of resilience and reform, and laid bare the human cost of political decisions. Every article we produce is built on meticulous research, historical context, and an unwavering refusal to compromise on integrity.

Our growth has been a journey of persistence and principle. What began as a solitary, independent voice has evolved into a globally connected platform, read across continents by those who value depth over speed, facts over spin, and truth over convenience. We have earned trust not through popularity, but through fearlessness—standing firm when others yield, and speaking plainly when others turn away. In an age of noise, misinformation, and orchestrated narratives, The State of the Mind stands for clarity, accountability, and historical accuracy.

We are more than a publication—we are a mission: to hold the powerful to account, to amplify voices that are too often silenced, and to ensure that the record of our times is not written solely by those in positions of authority.

The year 2025 marks not just our founding, but the beginning of a commitment without expiry—to refuse silence, to refuse complacency, and to refuse the ordinary.
