Q. Who originally started the journal 'Navjivan' that Mahatma Gandhi later continued?
Answer: Indulal Yagnik
Notes: The Gujarati journal Navjivan was originally started by Indulal Kanaiyalal Yagnik, along with Shankarlal Ghelabhai Banker, before being handed over to Mahatma Gandhi in 1919. In 1915, Yagnik and Banker initiated Gujarati publications—Young India and Navjivan ane Satya. In 1919, they both entrusted these publications to Gandhi, who then renamed and continued the Gujarati weekly Navjivan. Thus, while Gandhi popularized it from 1919 onward, the journal Navjivan was founded and first run by Indulal Yagnik and Shankarlal Banker.
