JAN SANGRAM
A Revolutionary Magazine in the Hindi Language
which is Banned in India
Jan Sangram, which means “People’s War”, is a new Hindi language Maoist magazine published in Odisha state in India.
The first issue appeared in January 2013, as the organ of the Chhattisgarh-Orissa Border Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist). The second and subsequent issues are the organ of the Odisha State Committee of the CPI (Maoist). [Note that the name of Orissa state was recently officially changed to Odisha.]
The mission of BANNEDTHOUGHT.NET is to struggle against the suppression of ideas anywhere in the world, and to try to make available documents and publications which are being suppressed. For this reason we are making available here as many issues of Jan Sangram as we can obtain.
This magazine is in PDF format, and the most recent issues are listed first.

— NOTICE —
Due to the repressive legislation and judicial decisions in the United States, we at BANNEDTHOUGHT.NET want to make it completely clear that we do not have any connection whatsoever with the Communist Party of India (Maoist), or with any other party in India or any other country for that matter. We do not aid, promote, assist, support, coordinate with, or provide any sort of services or advice to the CPI(Maoist) or to any other party. However, we do support the right of free speech, and the right of the people in both India and internationally to read the views and publications of this and all other parties and organizations. For this reason we do object to the suppression of the views and ideas put forward by the CPI(Maoist) by the undemocratic central and state governments of India. And for this reason alone we are making copies of many CPI(Maoist) documents available on this site, documents which the authorities in India wish to suppress and keep from the people.
Also, we ask visitors to this site to please don’t ask us to try to contact the CPI(Maoist) for them. We have no way of doing that. Thank you.
