What is a 'White Paper', which is called shwet patra in Hindi?

Answer 1

A white paper is an authoritative report; a government report outlining policy; or a document the purpose of which is to educate industry customers or collect leads for a company. White papers are used to help people make decisions.

In modern British or Irish terminology, a White Paper is a statement of government policy. It is called white paper because originally these were thin documents quickly bound in white paper without a formal cover, as opposed to the blue bindings of most government reports.

The term white paper is an offshoot of the term white book, which is an official publication of a national government. A famous white paper example is the Winston Churchill White Paper of 1922, which addressed political conflict in Palestine.

A white paper typically argues a specific position or solution to a problem. Although white papers take their roots in governmental policy, they have become a common tool used to introduce technology innovations and products.
