Extremely rare to find, the Hindi version of Harijan, the weekly newsletter, was suspended during the Indian satyagraha movement in 1940. It discusses untouchability.
In 1932, when Gandhi was arrested, his journal Young India was discontinued. To popularise the Harijan movement, Gandhi decided to introduce a new journal under the same name of Harijan.
The first issue appeared on the 11th of February 1933 from Poona with R. V. Shastri as the editor.
