Hindi journalism in India – then and now

The launch of The Caravan's Hindi quarterly Karwaan in April 2024 was accompanied by a panel discussion that compared the state of Hindi journalism today and in the yesteryears when the medium was thriving. Moderated by Hartosh Singh Bal, executive editor of The Caravan, the panel with Paresh Nath, editor-in-chief of Delhi Press, Seema Chishti, editor of The Wire, Mrinal Pande, former chief editor of Hindustan, and Sagar, staff writer at The Caravan as speakers deliberated on what Hindi journalism needs to today to revive and revitalize.

Paresh Nath, editor-in-chief of Delhi Press, said Hindi magazines still record the highest sales in India. “Our Hindi fortnightly Sarita was priced at Re 1 when it launched in 1945. This was not an easy feat during those days and involved a huge amount of risk as the magazine was being brought out by Vishva Nath, a person who was not even remotely associated with Hindi literature and came from a printing background.”

Sarita has been a revolutionary magazine since its inception, Nath said, adding it tried to demonstrate how the Indian society remained poor and backward due to overemphasis on religion. Delhi Press tried to educate Indian readers on how they were politically free but not entirely mentally free.

“Our magazines are a result of our family's hard work and commitment as no investor or institution funded them. We are proud to say we are now the publishers of 25-30 magazines with The Caravan being a renowned name in the English magazine space while in Hindi, we have Sarita, Grihashobha and Champak,” he said.

“Grihashobha and Champak have a wide readership in many other Indian languages such as Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Bangla. All magazines have different forms and had their ups and downs during their publication,” he added.

Nath informed the audience that their family was closely associated with publishing even before Delhi Press was established. The Nath family were publishers of the 1870 edition of an English-Hindustani dictionary, which was priced at Rs 50.

Mrinal Pande, former chief editor of Hindustan and author of The Journey of Hindi Language Journalism in India: From Raj to Swaraj and Beyond (Studies in Journalism), said the 80s were the golden period of Hindi magazine publishing in India there were good editors such as Harveer Sahay, Srikant Verma and Sarveshwar Dayal Saxena. “We at the The Times of India group used to look at Delhi Press in a snooty way. However, I used to believe and still believe that Delhi Press introduced me personally and Hindi magazines generally to its target audience and to what extent you can push him/her,” she said.

She said Delhi Press was prompt in paying freelance writers and photographers. In the 80s, press photographers were in a bad state and used to go to multiple publishing houses. The big publishers had a long wait time and could not make instant payments.

“During our office discussions, I came to know that the sales of Delhi Press' Women's Era were higher than The Times of India Group's Femina, she said, adding Grihashobha and Champak were the largest-selling Hindi magazines. I realized we should not look at Delhi Press in a snooty way, and rather try to understand what they had got right that the Times Group magazines hadn't.”

Most Hindi magazines of that era were brought out by larger publishing houses, which used to put their English newspapers first, Pande said, adding Hindi magazines and newspapers were in the second and third categories. “Till a publishing house does not have its full focus on its publications and editorial teams, you will not be able to understand its requirements. Till the time good editors were present, Hindi magazines kept on doing well but later started to decline. In the 90s, there came a time when many leading Hindi magazines shut down one by one – Dharmyug, Saptahik Hindustan, and Gyanoday,” she added.

While the Times Group fussed a lot about their printing operations and the quality of paper, the main focus of the Delhi Press publications used to be on their pace and portability, she explained. This was when women were first becoming a part of the Indian workforce, though mostly in clerical jobs – they used to travel by DTC buses in Delhi and local trains in Mumbai. “When I interacted with some of these women, they said the size of Sarita enabled them to carry it in their bags and read it on the way to their workplace. It was easily available at all railway stations and newsstands while the Times publications were available only at select bookshops and newsstands and were not of a suitable size to fit in a handbag,” she said.

The Hindi reader doesn't have deep pockets like his or her English counterpart, Pande said, adding they still spend their money on Hindi publications to keep themselves informed and updated. “I am happy that the Delhi Press Group hasn't retained the name The Caravan for its Hindi version and has used the Hindi word Karwaan instead,” she added.

Apart from pace and portability, Hindi magazines of yesteryears had fewer advertisements, she said, adding a major reason was that larger publication houses used to subsidize their Hindi publications. Another reason behind the success of weekly magazines was serialized fiction from established and emerging Hindi authors, which needs to be revived today. The Hindi reader is still thirsty for this type of content, Pande said, adding readers still maintain bound versions of their favorite Hindi editions and consider them as a collector's item.

These days, many Hindi magazines are coming up again as the newspaper industry is not doing well, Pande said. Long-form content, she said, is still alive in magazines as people in smaller cities like to read long articles in print despite digitization. When men go to work, housewives read and even exchange Hindi magazines, she said. “We need to put some thought into finding out the Hindi magazine reader, what she does, and when she finds to time to read. It is very difficult to prepare a psychotropic profile of our readers, especially women,” she said.

Pande said art and literature columns have disappeared or been reduced in major Indian newspapers, and it's up to magazines to revive these sections.

Seema Chishti, editor of The Wire, said that the 90s was a very interesting decade for Indian radio and Hindi journalism. She felt gross injustice was done to the Hindi public sphere during that time as many possibilities and opportunities in Hindi journalism were missed. Hindi radio was a medium that connected the Hindi-speaking belt, Chishti said but the government didn't allow news on radio to be privatized. “There are many spoken Hindi dialects in India and there was a huge scope for Hindi radio to nurture them, which did not happen.”

BBC Hindi brought a lot of possibilities to Hindi radio journalism and helped radio emerge as a cost-effective medium for informing and updating the masses on the latest news, she said. The closure of several Hindi news magazines defines the betrayal of these opportunities in Hindi journalism, she said, adding leading bookstores of that time refused to stock Hindi books and magazines. This trend is still relevant at many elite bookshops in north India, even though some of them have started stocking translations and South Asian literature in recent years.

Sagar, a staff writer at The Caravan, explained that working with regional English newspapers and interacting with Hindi writers helped him understand the approach towards Hindi journalism in general. There is not much fact-checking in Hindi journalism because of which there is misinformation, he said, adding publications get away with this due to their mass popularity. However, Karwaan has a proper fact-checking team in place.

Pande said words have their own journey in a language – their meanings keep on changing according to time. It is, thus, extremely important for writers and journalists to learn the nuances of Hindi or whichever language they are reporting in. Journalism is playful and it should be something to hit back at the authorities with, she said.

Hartosh Singh Bal, executive editor of The Caravan, recalled that when Dainik Bhaskar and Dainik Jagran were launched in Punjab, the relationship between journalism and language came to the fore. Explaining, he said Hindu journalism was often linked to Hindu fundamentalism and Punjabi journalism to Sikh fundamentalism. He said language politics between Hindi and Urdu had played a key role during the British rule as well.

Reporting shouldn't have any language be it Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu or English, Bal said, adding Karwaan will continue in the footsteps of The Caravan to create an unbiased anti-establishment approach to Hindi journalism.

5,000 UP farmers get recovery notices, may lose their lands

BIJNOR: A co-operative bank has sent out notices to over 5,000 farmers in Uttar Pradesh’s Bijnor district for allegedly defaulting on loan payments, a precursor before the lender seizes the agricultural lands the growers had mortgaged, reports Harveer Dabas. According to UP Sahkari Gram Vikas Bank, as many as 5,116 farmers owe around Rs 32 crore to it. Assistant registrar of the bank Amit Tyagi said, “There are 5,116 defaulters who had taken loans. The bank has served notices to them.” A look at these farmers’ profile revealed that most of these “defaulters” are sugarcane growers. And for the last several months, they have been waiting for the sugar mills to clear their dues. Officials said that the mills are yet to pay Rs 350 crore to farmers for the previous season’s crop they had purchased. When asked about this season’s payments, the mills said they are yet to calculate it due to the delay in the announcement of State Advisory Price (SAP). Digambar Singh, state president of Bhartiya Kisan Union’s (BKU) youth wing, said, “Banks are issuing recovery notices to the farmers who have failed to repay the loan. But no action is being taken against defaulter mill owners… Government should ask mill owners to clear dues. If farmers are oppressed on the name of recovery notices, we will launch an agitation.”

Farrukhabad captor was boycotted socially, planned crime for weeks - india news

When 37-year-old Subhash Batham walked out of jail early December after spending a month behind bars for an alleged jewellery theft, he had only one goal in mind: building a new house.Over the next few weeks, neighbours saw Batham and his wife, Ruby, toiling round-the-clock to construct a brick house consisting of a 8x10-feet bedroom without any windows, a slightly larger store room, and a mud backyard covered by an asbestos sheet. No mason or labourer was hired. What no one knew was that the couple also constructed an underground bunker with an iron trapdoor, accessible only by a makeshift ladder, and no staircase. The neighbours also didn’t note Batham meticulously laying an elaborate mesh of wires through slits in the brick structure connecting the bunker, the bedroom, and the entrance. A social boycott enforced in the village because Ruby was from a “lower caste” and the couple married without community sanction, ensured Batham’s actions went unnoticed.This would prove deadly on January 30, when Batham locked 25 local children in the bunker after luring them home on the pretext of a birthday party, triggering an 11-hour hostage crisis that culminated in the death of the couple – Batham shot dead by the police and Ruby lynched by the villagers.Despite the house stacked with 150 crude bombs, and Batham wielding a rifle and a pistol, all 25 children escaped unscathed, thanks largely to the presence of mind of two teenagers who managed to stall Batham, snap the bomb-connecting wires, and lock the hostage-taker out of the bunker.THE PARTY INVITEIt was afternoon last Thursday when loud Punjabi songs blared from speakers at Batham’s house in Karthia village in Farrukhabad, about 200km from Lucknow. Soon, Batham was out on the mud road outside to invite the village children for the “birthday” celebration of his daughter, who turned one six months earlier. Over the next hour, 25 children between eight months and 15 years trooped into his house, dancing to the music either in his cramped bedroom or outside the house. “When I told Subhash his daughter’s birthday was celebrated just months ago, he laughed and said that it was actually his house-warming ceremony,” said 13-year-old Vineet Kateria. Batham then hurried the children downstairs, asked them to blow balloons and decorate the bunker. The older children were asked to hold the toddlers in their arms as they awkwardly descended into the dark lair using a rickety bamboo ladder. “The moment all of us climbed down, he bolted the lid from above and stopped the music. He screamed to say that he wanted revenge for being framed in the theft,” said Akash Kateria, also 13.Along with the children were Ruby and her daughter. Till nearly the end of the drama, either Ruby or Batham stayed with the children, ensuring no one could climb out of the bunker.As the children cried, Batham threatened to kill them all. “He said he would spare us if we kept the wailing children silent. He then opened the bunker lid to show us a rifle hanging from his shoulder and a pistol in his hand,” said Akash.Any chance of escape seemed impossible, not only because of the closed lid, but also because explosives had been placed in all four corners of the bunker. “The explosives were connected by wires that were controlled by Subhash in the bedroom,” said Akash.Around 2.30pm, Babli Devi walked to the house to call her three kids home. “I found the red iron door locked from inside and Subhash screaming. He asked me to gather all the villagers and call the police. He said the children would be blown up if I didn’t listen to him,” said Babli.To make his intent clear, Batham allegedly fired a round through a tiny shaft under the main door but didn’t hit anyone.Shiv Bahadur Singh, a local head constable who was among the first to the spot around 3pm, said when he initially offered to solve Batham’s problems, the man fired a round and said he wouldn’t talk to lower-rung officers. “I felt helpless and said that he was sinning. Subhash’s wife abused me in response,” said the head constable. Anil Mishra, superintendent of police (Farrukhabad), said the first call to the police control room was made at 4.20pm, upon which a group of policemen surrounded the house and took positions atop surrounding buildings. “The problem was that no one knew the layout of the house. We didn’t even know what the bunker looked like until a local man who had once cast a glimpse inside gave us a rough idea,” said Mishra.MOTIVE UNCLEARBatham’s motives remain unclear. Vineet said he heard Batham name five villagers — including a local policeman – and asked them to be brought before him. “He said that these men had framed him in the recent theft case and that the policeman had beaten him up,” said Vineet.Rajani Kashyap, another woman whose three children were held hostage, said she stood next to a wall and spoke to Batham for almost an hour before the police took over. “He said he held no grudge against my children. All he wanted was to punish those who had allegedly framed him. He asked for the local MLA to be called to the spot,” said Rajani, indicating that Batham may have some grudge with him.It was unclear what Batham wanted from the local Bhojpur MLA -- Bharatiya Janata Party’s Nagendra Singh - who told HT that he did not know the family.Local residents and police confirmed that Batham sent a list of demands on a piece of paper. That paper was never made public.Mishra and Farrukhabad district magistrate Manvendra Singh said that, in it, Batham asked that the theft charges be dropped, assistance for housing and a toilet and Rs 1 crore each for the release of the children. “He also handed over some documents in which he had applied for housing and toilet assistance, but he didn’t qualify for the scheme,” Manvendra Singh told reporters. Both Mishra and Manvendra Singh, however, declined to show a copy of the note.TROUBLED PAST AND SOCIAL BOYCOTTBatham was born in a potter caste family and had four siblings – including a half-brother. His first brush with crime was in 1998 when he was booked under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. The next year, he was named in a second caste-based atrocity case. “Two years later, he was arrested for burglary and jailed,” said Mishra.Soon after he was released from jail in that theft case, Subhash stabbed his distant uncle in 2001.“He held some Thakur villagers responsible for framing him, but blamed his uncle the most,” said a local police officer on condition of anonymity. Subhash was arrested for murder, awarded a life sentence, and stayed in jail until 2011, when the high court lessened the sentence to 10 years. His mother Surja Devi, too, was arrested for the conspiracy, but was let off earlier.When Batham returned home, he withdrew from the village’s social life, occasionally picking fights with locals. For other residents of Karthia village, Batham was an unemployed man who committed petty theft. “For a brief while, he built a tiny underground bunker in his agricultural field and stayed there all alone,” said Harveer Singh, a local resident. Batham’s half-brother, Rakesh, said he used to fly into a rage at the mention of sharing the family property or land, and threatened to shoot him on two occasions.Relations further deteriorated four years ago, when his relations with Ruby became public and the couple married without community sanction. In response, the villagers began boycotting him. “Ruby belonged to a different caste. That marriage was unacceptable in our village. We totally stopped visiting their house since then,” said Sudha Srivastav, a local resident. Surja Devi, who suffers from poor sight and can barely walk, moved in with her sister in another village after Batham hit her. But she repeated the charge that Thakur men had framed her son in the theft case. NO BLANK THREATSBy 5pm last Thursday, when villagers and policemen surrounded the home, among Batham’s first demands was to summon legislator Nagendra Singh. The MLA was at the spot in no time, but was cautious not to approach the door. “I stood next to the wall and asked Anupam Dubey to speak to Subhash,” said the MLA.Dubey was among those few people who interacted with Batham as a friend. “Dubey seemed unafraid, marched to the door, and scolded Subhash for keeping children as hostages. Moments later, a bullet came flying out and hit Dubey in his right leg,” said Rajababu Omer, a policeman. Batham would go on to fire at least 11 rounds in all, added Mishra. Minutes later, Batham used a crude bomb to trigger an explosion outside the house. The bomb was triggered by a wire connected to a battery placed in the bedroom, Mishra said. It was hidden under a pile of bricks, which flew in the air and hit people in vicinity. Three policemen and a villager were hurt in the explosion, forcing the police to call the National Security Guard (NSG), who were eventually not required.HORROR AND RELIEF IN THE BUNKEREach gunshot outside triggered loud cries from the children inside. “It was a congested bunker and the gunshots would make us collapse on each other,” said Anjali Kashyap, a 15-year-old girl later hailed for her bravery. Vineet said that when the blast happened, he was sitting with his back rested against the wall. “My body shivered for an hour after that.” Moments later, Batham opened the bunker’s lid and shouted “swaha” (a reference to throwing offerings into a fire during a ritual havan ceremony). Whenever the cries disturbed Batham, he would allegedly lift the lid, point the rifle inside, and threaten to shoot them all. “I would shout that if he killed any of us, him and his daughter would die too,” said Anjali.Earlier in the afternoon, Ruby had handed over a packet of toffees to the children. “Initially, we threw away the packet. But when hunger set in, we began eating them,” said Anjali.A darkness set in, and the little ones began dozing off, Anjali requested for bedsheets. “He gave us plastic sheets that we spread on the floor and put the children to sleep. When we told him we were hungry, he arranged about 25 packets of biscuits and also some glasses of water,” said Anjali. When the biscuits were exhausted, the children got chapatis. “Ruby made chapatis and gave us pickle,” said Vineet.A RAY OF HOPEAs the night dragged on, the authorities kept Batham engaged. “If one topic got over, we would initiate another. Our aim was to tire him out,” said Singh. At one point, Batham allegedly fired two rounds inside and announced he had killed two children. The police had no way of knowing the truth, said the collector. The first ray of hope came around midnight when the youngest of the captives – an eight-month-old girl – began wailing. “She wanted her mother’s milk. I urged them to release the little one. When he refused, I asked him to kill us all, but let the toddler go,” said Anjali.Batham agreed and said he would free the toddler. “Initially he tried to pass the child through a narrow shaft through the front door. When the child wouldn’t fit, he called Ruby and asked her to briefly open the rear door to let the child out,” said Shiv Bahadur.As Ruby opened the rear door, Subhash threw the toddler on a chair in the backyard. A policeman scaled the wall and took away the child.But in that brief moment, Anjali saw an opportunity. “As soon as I felt that the child was rescued, I closed the bunker’s lid and bolted it from inside,” she said. An incensed Batham threatened to blow up a 15kg LPG cylinder, but the children wouldn’t open the lid. The threat drove a wedge between the husband and wife, said the children. “Ruby begged Subhash not to trigger a blast as it would kill their daughter as well. She cried and pleaded with him,” said Anjali.With the husband and wife busy, Vineet thought he would try to remove the wires placed in the bunker. “I wasn’t sure, but I remembered that some wires in the bedroom earlier weren’t connected to anything. So, I pulled out all wires from the bunker and hoped that no blast would occur,” said Vineet. Vineet’s hunch was right. There was no blast.Over the next 90 minutes, one police team kept the couple engrossed while another team planned to break open the rear door. “Around 1.30am, when the couple was tired and hopeless, we brought down the rear door. The couple tried to escape from the front door, but we captured Ruby. Subhash then hurled bombs and began firing at us while running back into the bedroom,” said Mishra.One of the policemen shot Batham in response, killing him on the spot. As Ruby was being escorted out by the police, the villagers moved to attack her. “The police told us that she was strapped with explosives, but the people wouldn’t listen. They beat her with stones and bricks. The police joined in the lynching,” said Rajani Kashyap.Mishra denied the charge. It remained unclear, however, how the police was unable to stop her being beaten to death. As police bundled an injured Ruby into an ambulance – she would die on the way – another team walked into the room, and sounded assurances to the children locked underground. Minutes later, the children were climbing into the room. It was 1.30am. Read the full article

SC: On non-appearance of any party, the court should apply its judicial mind on facts and issues before dismissing the appeal

A two-judge bench of the apex court on 15.03.2019 in Harveer Singh & Anr.  V.  State of U.P. (CRIMINAL APPEAL No.505 Of 2019) allowed the appeal filed against the final judgment and order passed by the High Court of Judicature at Allahabad dismissing the revision ex parte filed by the appellants.

The bench was headed by:-

·       JUSTICE ABHAY MANOHAR SAPRE

·       JUSTICE DINESH MAHESHWARI

FACTS:

The appellants along with other two accused were prosecuted for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 324, 452, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (“IPC”) by the Judicial Magistrate, Mathura. However the Judicial Magistrate acquitted all the accused persons including the appellants from all the charges.

The State felt aggrieved and filed appeal before the Additional District and Sessions Judge, Mathura where the Appellate Court while partly allowing the appeal upheld the order of the Judicial Magistrate in respect of other two accused and convicted and sentenced the appellants as under:-  

Offence u/S.

RI for

Fine sentence

In default of payment of fine

323, IPC

1 year

Rs. 500/-

RI for 3 months

324, IPC

1 year

Rs. 500/-

RI for 3 months

452, IPC

1 year

–

–

All these punishments were to run concurrently.

The appellants felt aggrieved by the order of the Appellate Court and filed criminal revision before the High Court of Allahabad. By impugned order, the High Court dismissed the revision ex parte on account of non appearance of appellants at the time of hearing which resulted in filing of the appeal in Supreme Court by way of special leave by the appellants (accused).

ISSUES:

·       Whether the High Court was justified in dismissing the   appellants’ revision?

OBSERVATIONS:

The court observed that:-

·       The High Court failed to act in an expected manner to pass appropriate orders and it would have prevented the filing of appeal in Supreme Court.

·       The High Court while dismissing the revision did not assign any reason due to which court cannot countenance disposal of the revision in that manner. 

·       The High Court should have applied its judicial mind to the factual and legal aspects arising in the case and then would have passed appropriate orders either for upholding the conviction or acquitting the appellants, as the case may be.   

HELD:

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal by setting aside the impugned order. The case was remanded to the High Court for deciding the revision petition afresh on merits in accordance with law within six months.
