Forward Press (फारवर्ड प्रेस) is an English-Hindi bilingual monthly magazine covering issues relevant to India's backward classes (the masses) and regions. The editor-in-chief is Ivan Kostka.^[1] Its management decided to suspend its print edition from June 2016 and convert itself to a web-only publication.^[2]

Overview[edit]

Controversy[edit]

The magazine in one of its issues published an article which was alleged to be derogatory to Hindu Goddess Durga by some student organizations having political association while another group of students mostly associated with All India Backward Student Federation, a student union comprising members belonging to Backward Castes and Dalit communities organised 'Mahisasura Sahadat Diwas' at Jawaharlal Nehru University being inspired by the issue which prompted the Delhi Police to raid its office on a complaint filed by Right wing student unions of Jawaharlal Nehru University.^[4]^[5]
