Read all stories from Swarajya Mag

Swarajya Mag Magazine Description:

Independent India's first magazine that advocated less government and more freedom. We fought the license raj, the Emergency and more. Relaunched in 2014.

In 1956, journalist Khasa Subba Rau with the patronage of C Rajagoplachari “Rajaji”, India’s last Governor-General, freedom fighter and statesman hailed by Mahatma Gandhi as his “conscience keeper”, launched a weekly magazine called Swarajya.

Swarajya was intended to convey the founders’ quest to translate the joy of freedom not only from foreign rule, but full freedom as defined and promised by the preamble of our constitution.

Swarajya represented the first coherent intellectual response to Nehruvian socialism and the ever expanding Big State in newly independent India.
