The New Comrade (TNC) is an independent media outlet run by a collective of Muslim Keralites. Our mission is to create a media alternative to the current mainstream that feeds out explicitly and implicitly Islamophobic narratives. TNC primarily focusses on issues, of this nature, faced in India, where such trends are almost in full throttle, with state patronage – underlining that, though, it looks beyond geographical and political divisions. TNC would also, secondarily, seek to cover issues pertaining to other communities who suffer from similar challenges. Our editorial policy could be summed up as follows:

– Articulate on issues faced by Muslims worldwide, with a commitment to establishing strong solidarity with victims of systemic discrimination, oppression and violence.

– Through a decolonial approach, TNC seeks to build a framework that empowers Muslim Ummah. Challenging colonial legacies in information production and its media representation, we aim to create a platform that not only amplifies the voices of marginalised Muslims but also nurtures a deeper understanding of their lived experiences, struggles, and aspirations. 

– Critique and deconstruct linguistic violence perpetuated by Western media when covering issues in the Global South. We envisage pieces using language and keywords that accurately reflect ground realities of the oppressed.

– Publish opinion pieces by writers who courageously critique imperialism and its puppet projects worldwide, like Hindutva, Zionism, client regimes of Muslim world and beyond, etc.

– Actively work to debunk fake news targetting Muslims and other oppressed communities, ensuring the dissemination of accurate and truthful information.

– Fiercely support liberational struggles, cause of Bayt al Maqdes, deconstruction of nationalisms, declaim capitalism and feudalism in all its forms, promote Islamic sovereignty values, altering of power balances in Muslim world, India and beyond.

– Engage in discourses of social justice, raise questions pertaining to caste and race, advocate for social justice policies, resource redistribution, and the political agency of Muslims and other marginalised groups.

TNC is committed to journalistic integrity, accuracy, and accountability. We strive to be a credible source of information and analysis, adhering to principles of fairness, inclusivity, and unwavering support for the oppressed.
