About Swarajya

Swarajya was independent India’s first magazine that advocated less government and more freedom. It stood for individual liberty, freedom of enterprise and pride in India’s rich civilizational heritage. The magazine was founded in 1956 by Shri Rajagopalachari aka Rajaji, a towering political personality and widely respected statesman of India. It ceased publication in late 1970’s.

Swarajya was relaunched in late 2014 as a daily digital platform. In January 2015 Swarajya launched its flagship monthly print magazine. The magazine is edited by R.Jaganathan and Sandipan Deb, two of India’s best known editors.
