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.

Sadhana (साधना) is a Socialist Marathi weekly publication that was established by Pandurang Sadashiv Sane (Sane Guruji), a leader of Rashtra Seva Dal on 15 August 1948.[1] It was edited by Marathi writer Shankar Dattatraya Javdekar from 1950 to 1952.[2] Yadunath Thatte became Sadhana's editor in 1956 and continued to lead it until 1982.[3] G.P. Pradhan was the next editor of the weekly.

In the early 1970s the magazine provided a forum for voices from the Dalit Panther movement, who were revolting against the treatment of low castes 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.[4]

The magazine served as a voice for Socialist thought in India and played a key role in the mass awakening during the 21-month-long Emergency Rule in India that was imposed in June 1975.[5] In July 1976, the Government of India led by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi intimidated the weekly to stop publication by abusive use of national defence laws.[6] The magazine soon reopened, after winning a landmark court case concerning press freedom in which Justice V.D. Tulzapurkar of the Bombay High Court along with Justice B.C. Gadgil quashed the government order seizing the assets of Sadhana Press, and struck down censorship orders as arbitrary.[7][8]
