Newspapers & Gandhiji’s Letters

Shri Ram Narayan Chaudhary established and edited many newspapers in his lifetime to spread Gandhiji’s message of swaraj and mobilize the masses for India’s independence struggle. Here we provide a few sample pages of some of his newspapers, thanks to the courtesy of Rajasthan State Archives Bikaner, (राजस्थान राज्य अभिलेखागार) and National Archives of India where you may also access more copies of Shri Chaudhary’s papers.

Shri Ram Narayan Chaudhary and his family shared an intimate, familial bond with Mahatma Gandhi that is visible throughout their letter exchanges reproduced here. In these letters, you will find Gandhiji conversing with Ram Narayanji and his family not only on matters of social and political world but also their personal matters. These letters are part of Gandhiji’s comprehensive collection of writings that is the Collected Works of Mahatma Gandhi (henceforth, CWMG) that have been reproduced with the kind permission of Navajivan Prakashan (Ahmedabad). You can also access CWMG Volumes at the Gandhi Heritage Portal.
