SAMPLE — What Gram Swarajya means in practice

SAMPLE POST — this is placeholder scaffolding, not a real article. Replace it with writing of your own.

This is a sample post. It exists so the blog layout, table of contents, reading time, tags and related-post logic can be reviewed with something in them. Nothing below is a real statement, opinion or claim by anyone — replace the whole file before publishing.

How to use this file

Each post is one .mdx file in content/blog/. The filename becomes the URL: this file is sample-post-gram-swarajya.mdx, so it is served at /blog/sample-post-gram-swarajya.

The frontmatter block at the top of the file controls everything the blog needs:

  • title and description drive the page metadata and the card.
  • date sorts the archive and must be YYYY-MM-DD.
  • category and tags power the filters and the related-post scoring.
  • author is the byline. Set it to whoever actually wrote the post.
  • image and imageAlt are the cover. Alt text is required.
  • featured: true pins the post to the top of the index.
  • draft: true removes the post from the build entirely.

Writing the body

The body is Markdown, so the usual things work: bold, italic, links, lists, and inline code.

Headings become the table of contents

Every ## and ### in the body is collected into the contents panel beside the post, using the same slugging rule that generates the heading anchors — so the links always land in the right place.

Block quotes are styled to match the rest of the site.

What to replace

Delete this file and the other samples in content/blog/, then add real posts. If you remove every file, the blog index shows an honest empty state rather than pretending there is content.
