Navjivan (newspaper)
View on GrokipediaNavjivan was a Gujarati-language weekly newspaper edited by Mahatma Gandhi starting on 7 September 1919, evolving from an earlier monthly publication originally established by Indulal Yagnik and renamed after dropping "Satyagraha" to focus on new life and renewal.[1][2] Published from Ahmedabad, it functioned as a key platform for Gandhi to expound his philosophy of satyagraha, critique British rule, and mobilize public support for non-violent resistance in the Indian independence movement.[1] Gandhi acquired the publication from the Natwar Printing Press, emphasizing journalistic principles centered on truth, public service, and moral education rather than commercial gain, using it to arouse constructive sentiments and expose societal flaws.[2] Complementing his English weekly Young India, Navjivan reached Gujarati-speaking audiences, covering pivotal events such as the Non-Cooperation Movement and Khilafat agitation while serializing Gandhi's autobiography from 1925 to 1929.[1] Its influence lay in shaping national discourse on self-reliance and ethical governance, contributing to mass mobilization against colonial authority.[2] The newspaper ceased publication in 1932 during Gandhi's imprisonment following the Salt Satyagraha, after which the associated Navjivan Trust—established by Gandhi in 1929—continued disseminating his writings and ideas through books and later editions, including a Hindi version.[1] This trust preserved Navjivan's legacy as a non-profit endeavor dedicated to Gandhian literature, distinct from subsequent commercial Hindi dailies bearing similar names.[2]
