	In the early 1970s the magazine provided a forum for voices from the [[Dalit\|Dalit Panther]] movement, who were revolting against the treatment of [[low caste]]s in Indian society. Some of the Dalit writings published by the magazine were considered to be inflammatory by the middle class and even led to calls to ban the concerned issues. ''Sadhana'' brought the Dalit activists to the attention to the Marathi intelligentsia, and gave an impetus to the growing ''dalit movement''.<ref>{{cite book \|last=Omvedt\|first= Gail \|title=Reinventing revolution: new social movements and the socialist tradition in India \|publisher=M.E.
