==History==<br />
The weekly was launched on 14 January 1948, the day of [[Makara Sankranthi]]. Its first editor was [[Atal Bihari Vajpayee]].<br />
The inaugural cover page carried a picture of [[Lord Krishna]] with its objective to pursue idealism based on patriotism and to uphold the cultural heritage of India. <br />
<br />
Chief Editors have included [[K. R. Malkani]].<ref>{{Cite web|last=Sharma|first=Unnati|date=2020-11-19|title=KR Malkani — RSS ideologue, journalist and politician who predicted Emergency|url=https://theprint.in/theprint-profile/kr-malkani-rss-ideologue-journalist-and-politician-who-predicted-emergency/547947/|access-date=2021-04-09|website=ThePrint|language=en-US}}</ref><br />
<br />
It is now edited by [[Hitesh Shankar]], who was formerly an editor of [[Hindustan (newspaper)|''Hindustan'']].<ref name=neweditor/> He is also the member of [[Indian Institute of Mass Communication, Dhenkanal|IIMC]]'s new executive council.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://m.hindustantimes.com/india-news/panchajanya-editor-in-iimc-s-new-executive-council/story-v4Ru5GnKV06z6qqatubLqI.html|title=Panchajanya editor in IIMC's new executive council|date=2018-10-25|work=hindustantimes.com/|access-date=2018-11-02|language=en}}</ref><br />

In 1995, the Audit Bureau of Circulation credited the magazine with a circulation of 85,000 copies, a figure which Tarun Vijay claimed that it has crossed the 1 [[lakh]].

<br />
==Controversy==<br />
''Panchjanya'' in its 2015 October 25 edition carried a cover story [Is Utpat ke Us paar’ (The other side of this disturbance)’ by Hindi writer Tufail Chaturvedi] in which it justifies the [[2015 Dadri mob lynching|Dadri incident]], saying 'the Vedas order that a sinner who slaughters a cow must be killed. For a lot of us, this is a question of life and death'.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/rss-mouthpiece-defends-dadri-vedas-order-killing-of-sinners-who-kill-cows/|title=RSS mouthpiece defends Dadri lynching: Vedas order killing of sinners who kill cows|work=The Indian Express|date=18 October 2015|accessdate=16 February 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://epaper.panchjanya.com/epaper.aspx?lang=5&spage=Mpage&NB=2015-10-17#Mpage_11|title=पाञ्चजन्य|work=Panchjanya|date=17 October 2015|accessdate=16 February 2017}}</ref><br />
