Tired of Savarna Media? The Ambedkarian Chronicle is Here—No More Filters, No More Lies

New Delhi- In a significant step towards reshaping India's media landscape, The Ambedkarian Chronicle (TAC), a new independent media platform dedicated to amplifying Dalit, Adivasi, Bahujan, and other marginalised voices, will officially launch on April 4, at the Constitution Club in New Delhi.

Announcing the launch, Rahul Sonpimple, Editor of The Ambedkarian Chronicle, stated, “This is not just another media platform—it is a movement to reclaim narratives that have been suppressed, distorted, or tokenised by mainstream and even so-called ‘alternative’ media. We refuse to let marginalised voices be filtered through casteist frameworks.”

The platform takes inspiration from Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s radical legacy, aiming to provide an unapologetic space for writers, thinkers, and activists from oppressed communities to articulate their struggles, aspirations, and analyses without censorship or dilution.

Inaugural Event to Feature Prominent Dissenting Voices

The launch event, scheduled from 5 PM to 8 PM, will feature speeches and discussions by some of India’s most influential anti-caste and progressive voices, including:

• Arundhati Roy (Author & Activist)

• Meena Kotwal (Founder-Editor, The Mooknayak)

• Sudipto Mondal (Executive Editor, The News Minute)

The discussions will focus on media representation, caste hegemony in journalism, and the need for autonomous Dalit-Bahujan media spaces.

Why This Matters:

In India, even so-called alternative media, which claims to represent diverse voices, often remains under the control of traditional upper-caste structures. These platforms may offer space for some, but they often force marginalized writers to conform to a certain narrative — a narrative shaped by political correctness that caters to the upper-caste sensibilities. Young, new voices from Dalit, Adivasi, and Muslim communities are rarely given the opportunity to speak on their own terms. Instead, their stories, struggles, and aspirations are filtered through lenses that are not their own.

The Ambedkarian Chronicle rises to break that chain. It is a platform that does not simply reflect the power structures of the day, but challenges them. It is a space dedicated to nurturing young writers, thinkers, and activists from the most marginalized sections of our society, providing them with the platform they deserve to share their untold stories and perspectives.

"We are committed to amplifying voices that have often been relegated to the margins of our media landscape, and in doing so, we aim to ensure that their narratives are no longer ignored, but celebrated. Our mission is clear: to create a larger media platform that goes beyond tokenism and political correctness. We do not seek to merely show how "pro-Dalit" or "pro-Muslim" we are. Instead, we aim to center the voices of those who have been systematically excluded from the mainstream and alternative media alike. This is not a project of charity; it is a project of justice, a project of dignity, and a project that is rooted in the very principles of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar — who fought tirelessly to uplift the oppressed and ensure their rightful place in society.

The Ambedkarian Chronicle is not just about amplifying these voices; it is about empowering them to reclaim their narratives and to shape the future of our nation. We are committed to bringing together the wisdom, courage, and resilience of young writers who will not be silenced, who will not bend to the pressures of dominant political and social forces. They will write their truth, and in doing so, they will inspire generations to come", Dr Sonpimple stated.
