More than any one else, he recognized that communication is the most effective
tool to shape opinion and mobilize popular support
Gandhi, in
a journalistic career spanning nearly four decades, edited six journals. In
1933 Gandhi started Harijan, Harijanbandhu, Harijansevak in English, Gujarati
and Hindi, respectively. These newspapers were the vehicles of his crusade
against untouchability and poverty in rural areas. These papers published no
advertisements even then they enjoyed wide circulation.
