About Jansatta (जनसत्ता)
Jansatta, which literally translates to “The Power of the People,” was established in 1983 under the legendary editor Prabhash Joshi. It was created to bring the same level of investigative rigor and intellectual depth to Hindi journalism that The Indian Express provided in English. Jansatta quickly became a cult favorite among the Hindi heartland’s intelligentsia, known for its simple yet powerful language and its focus on grassroots issues.
The platform is unique in the Hindi media landscape for its refusal to indulge in sensationalism. Its editorial focus is on rural development, political accountability, and social justice. The digital version, jansatta.com, has seen explosive growth in recent years, becoming one of the most-read Hindi news portals in India. It covers national news, entertainment, and religion while maintaining a high standard of editorial commentary.
Jansatta remains a vital part of the group’s strategy to capture the vast Indic-language audience, particularly in states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh.
