Who We Are.

Launched in 2018, Jamhoor is a Left media platform focusing on South Asia and its diasporas. Our name, which means “the people” in Urdu, distills our commitments: we are for the people. To be for the people means understanding and combating the structures that weigh us down: it means opposing imperialism, capitalism, patriarchy, casteism, racism and queerphobia. To be for the people means refusing the borders that divide us: it means internationalism. And to be for the people means debating and promoting radical alternatives that allow us to thrive: it means remaking the world.
