A New Voice for a Changing India By Kush, (Editor – New Democracy).
It gives me immense pride to introduce you to New Democracy – a magazine born out of conviction, shaped by resistance, and driven by the people it hopes to serve.
We are launching this magazine at a time when Indian democracy is both celebrated and challenged. In a media landscape often divided along ideological lines or muted by corporate interests, New Democracy offers something different — a platform for truth, accountability, and dialogue that rises above partisanship.
For over a decade, I’ve been part of political struggles on the ground — organising, listening, speaking out. This magazine is a continuation of that journey, one that seeks to bridge the widening gap between public sentiment and political action. New Democracy is not aligned with any party or faction.
Our allegiance is to the Constitution, to the people, and to the principles of justice and equality.
Our launch on the birth anniversary of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is no coincidence. His vision of social, economic, and political justice continues to inspire millions, including me. His legacy demands that we not just vote but question, not just follow but think, and not just hope but act. This magazine is my humble tribute to his unfinished mission.
In these pages, you will find diverse voices — from grassroots activists to seasoned policy experts, from young writers to established thinkers. We are here to interrogate power, not echo it. To question dominant narratives, not reinforce them. To ensure that the voice of the last person is heard as clearly as the voice of the first.
New Democracy is an evolving space for dialogue, dissent, and discovery. Whether we are analysing policies, unpacking electoral strategies, or amplifying unheard stories, our goal remains constant: to make Indian democracy more participatory, more inclusive, and more accountable.
I invite you to join us — as readers, as critics, as contributors. Because democracy is not something we inherit. It’s something we build together.
Welcome to New Democracy.
