==History==
''Janmabhoomi'' was founded by Indian freedom fighter Amritlal Sheth, who also founded Saurashtra Trust in 1931. Initially, Amrithal created an English language paper named ''The Sun'', which performed poorly.<ref name="GV">{{Cite book|last=Thaker|first=Mahesh|title=ગુજરાતી વિશ્વકોશ|script-title=gu:Gujarātī Viśvakośa|trans-title=Gujarati Encyclopedia|volume=VII|editor-last=Thaker|editor-first=Dhirubhai|editor-link=Dhirubhai Thaker|publisher=[[Gujarati Vishwakosh|Gujarati Vishakosh Trust]]|year=1996|location=Ahmedabad|pages=429|oclc=164765976|language=gu}}</ref> On 9 June 1934, Amritlal started publishing ''Janmabhoomi'' in Gujarati as a nationalist publication.<ref name="Whose news">{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=z7SICwAAQBAJ&pg=PT327|title=Whose News?: The Media and Women's Issues|last=Joseph|first=Ammu|last2=Sharma|first2=Kalpana|date=7 August 2006|publisher=SAGE Publications India|isbn=978-93-5150-021-6|pages=327–328}}</ref> The paper was supportive of [[Gandhism]] and instituted a policy of avoiding sensationalist journalism.<ref name="GV"/> [[Jhaverchand Meghani]], a popular Gujarati nationalist poet, has been connected to the paper since its inception.<ref name="Whose news" /> Initially, the paper became the face of the movement against the oppression of the Kathiawar Princely States. By covering news of the [[Burma campaign|Burma Campaign]] and stories relating to the [[Indian National Army]] (Azad Hind fauj), the paper reached national status.<ref name="GV" />
In 1979, the newspaper started a morning edition under the name ''Pravasi''. On Sundays, the newspaper's morning and evening editions are published together under the consolidated masthead ''Janmabhumi Pravasi.'' <ref name="Whose news" />

In the 1970s, the newspaper had a circulation of 45,000 to 50,000 copies. During the 1980s, circulation dropped to 40,000.<ref name="Whose news" />
The first feminist Novel of Gujarati ''Batris Putalini Vedatiya'' by [[Ila Arab Mehta]] was popularized in a Sunday edition of the paper. Another feminist Novel ''Saat Pagla Aakashamaa'' written by [[Kundanika Kapadia]] also gained attention from the paper.<ref name="Whose news" />
