In 1933 Gandhi started publishing a weekly newspaper, Harijan, in English. Harijan, which means "People of God", was also Gandhi's term for the untouchable caste.
The launch of Harijan in 1933 by Mahatma Gandhi marked the beginning of a weekly English-language publication. The name "Harijan" held dual significance as both the title of the newspaper and Gandhi's own description of the lower-caste group.
