Navayana (publishing house)
Navayana is an independent anti-caste Indian publishing house based in New Delhi, strongly influenced by Ambedkarite ideas. It was founded by S. Anand and D. Ravikumar in 2003. The first book it published was Ambedkar: Autobiographical Notes priced at Rs 40 (about $1 at that time). Since then it has published acclaimed fiction, non-fiction, graphic novels and poetry anthologies. From 2009 onwards, Navayana broadened its publishing outlook to include social issues other than caste because ‘the struggle against caste cannot happen in isolation from other struggles for justice and equality’ as a statement on the website reads.〔http://navayana.org〕
The word ‘navayana’ means ‘new vehicle’, after B.R. Ambedkar’s interpretation of Buddhism.
In 2014, Navayana brought out the annotated, critical edition of ''Annihilation of Caste'' by B.R. Ambedkar, with an introductory essay by Arundhati Roy titled, “The Doctor and the Saint”. It also published the critically acclaimed graphic biography of Ambedkar titled ''Bhimayana: Experiences of Untouchability'' in 2011 which has been translated into nine languages.〔http://gulfnews.com/news/asia/india/staying-in-touch-with-ambedkar-1.1101163〕
== The Navayana logo ==
The logo of the publishing house is an ink sketch of two buffaloes kissing. The publisher S. Anand explains that the iconography comes from an excerpt from Aravind Malagatti’s autobiography in Kannada, ''Government Brahmana''. It is a story about how the ideology of caste does not allow a dalit-owned she-buffalo in heat to mate with a he-buffalo owned by a landlord. For the cover art of the April 2003 issue of The Dalit, a journal run by the Dalit Media Network, Chennai, Anand approached the artist Chandru (G. Chandrasekaran) with this story. The logo is a close-up of the artist’s interpretation.
