KRANTI

A Revolutionary Magazine in the Telugu Language
which is Banned in India

      Kranti, which means “Revolution”, (and which is also transliterated as Kranthi), is an important Telugu language Maoist magazine published in Andhra Pradesh state in India. It is now the official joint organ of the AP State Committee—NT (North Telangana) Special Zonal Committee and the AOB (Andhra-Odisha Border) Special Zonal Committee of the Communist Party of India (Maoist).

      The first issue of Kranti was published in October 1977, and it has continued ever since. It has played a very important role in spreading revolutionary ideas in the Telugu speaking areas of India. Once the Maoist movement in Andhra Pradesh gained momentum, the Indian state attacked the offices of the magazine in 1985. Since then Kranti has been banned, but has still been published secretly and illegally.

      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 Kranti 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.
