Ramnath Goenka: His
ideas, his times
Ramnath Goenka is remembered for the bravery with which he
fought autocracy in government. Those fights were legendary, no doubt. But the fighter in
Goenka was not an overnight phenomenon. From the time he was 20, he began getting involved
in Gandhian activities like Hindi Prachar Sabha. He was a committed nationalist before he
thought of turning publisher. Here we carry three articles that throw light on the kind of
ideas that propelled the young Goenka and the times in which his consolidation as a
newspaper publisher took place.
