Swarajya is an Indian monthly print magazine and online news-portal. The publication subscribes to right-wing liberalism and critics note it to be a pro-Bharatiya Janata Party publication.[2][3][4][5]
R. Jagannathan is the current editorial director. Originally established in 1956 as a weekly under the patronage of C. Rajagopalachari, it shut down in 1980 but was relaunched in September 2014, as a daily news website; a monthly print magazine was launched in January 2015.[6]
History
Swarajya was launched as a weekly magazine in 1956 by journalist Khasa Subba Rao, under the patronage of C. Rajagopalachari, a prominent independence activist and one of the founders of the Swatantra Party.[7][8]
The magazine strongly advocated individual freedom and freedom of enterprise as against Nehru's socialist policies.[9] Minoo Masani, R.Venkatraman, R.K. Laxman were the notable authors who contributed to the magazine.[10][11] After Rajagopalachari's death in 1972, the magazine slowly began to decline and eventually closed in 1980.[12]
Relaunch in 2014
The magazine was relaunched as an online daily in September 2014, with Sandipan Deb as the Editorial Director; the first edition of the print magazine was launched in January 2015.[12] Coimbatore-based Kovai Media Private Limited purchased the rights to the magazine from Chennai-based Bharathan Publishers, along with 40,000 pages from the earlier editions of the magazine.[12] The magazine describes itself as "a big tent for liberal right of centre discourse".[1]
In October 2016, it acquired OpIndia[13]; in 2018, it became an independent entity.[14][15] In 2018, Swarajya launched its Hindi edition too.[16]
Controversy
The website has propagated misinformation multiple times.[17] Columnists working for Swarajya, such as Shefali Vaidya, have allegedly engaged in a variety of trolling over Twitter.[4][18][19][20][21][22] Swati Goel Sharma and R. Jagannathan, journalists working for Swarajya, have propagated communally charged fake news via their personal accounts, and the former has created fake reports for the website.[23][24][25][26]
