What was the name of Mahatma Gandhi’s South African newspaper?

Mahatma Gandhi’s South African newspaper was Indian Opinion. He helped establish it in 1903 to inform and organize the Indian community in South Africa and to present arguments against discriminatory laws.

The paper was published from the Phoenix Settlement near Durban, which Gandhi founded in 1904. It appeared in several languages, including English, Gujarati, Hindi, and Tamil, reflecting the diversity of the Indian population in South Africa.

Indian Opinion became an important instrument of Gandhi’s early satyagraha campaigns. It helped circulate news, explain nonviolent resistance, and connect dispersed communities. It should not be confused with Gandhi’s later Indian publications Young India, Navajivan, and Harijan.
