New Delhi, October 12, 2025 — In a time when the loudest often drown out the most genuine, The Unheard Voice has chosen to amplify what has long been ignored — the quiet truths of everyday India. Its new socio-political quarterly magazine, Janta Unmuted, was launched on Saturday at Hotel Jaypee Siddhartha, Rajendra Place, marking a thoughtful intervention in the country’s evolving media landscape.

The magazine’s debut issue dives into themes like workplace inclusivity for people with disabilities, the struggles of single women and senior citizens, women’s rights, and the failings of civic infrastructure — topics that rarely command prime-time attention but profoundly shape citizens’ lives.

“Janta Unmuted is born from a simple truth — there is power in listening,” said Bhawna Malik, Editor-in-Chief of the magazine.

Malik, who brings over two decades of media experience in editing the news magazine, said that “civic concerns, disability issues, and women’s everyday struggles are not part of mainstream discourse. We want to change that narrative. Every voice matters.”

The launch event brought together a diverse group of journalists, educators, and changemakers — including Manish Anand (Editor, The Raisina Hills), Sudhir Saluja (Founder-Editor, Sanidhya Times), Prabhakar Mishra (News 24), Aadesh Rawal, Dr. C.B. Mishra (Director and Principal, Prdunet School), Vindri Kaur Suri (Chairperson, Women Empowerment), and a highly decorated police official Kiran Sethi.

Each speaker underscored the importance of giving citizens — especially those on society’s margins — a platform to express their lived realities. They praised Janta Unmuted for blending advocacy with accessibility, turning journalism into a tool for empathy and inclusion.

The first edition was appreciated for its bold storytelling and visual clarity. It reflects an editorial intent that is both civic-minded and emotionally resonant — a reminder that journalism can serve democracy best not by shouting, but by listening.

“Journalism may redeem by sticking to its principal mandate of committing to the public interest. Sadly, the mainstream media now has become a trumpet for politicians, leaving the people on the margins,” said Manish Anand in his address, while lauding Malik for courage to launch a people-centric news magazine.

Why This Matters

In an age when headlines chase hashtags, Janta Unmuted arrives as a quiet rebellion — a publication that values voices over virality. Its vision of turning “silence into strength” isn’t just poetic; it’s political. By restoring space to stories that matter but rarely trend, the magazine reminds us that democracy thrives not on noise, but on nuance.

If journalism is to reclaim its moral purpose, it must do what Janta Unmuted dares to do: listen first.
