==History==<br />
Established in 1948, on the [[Makar Sankranti]] day, ''Loksatta'' gained notability through coverage of [[Mahatma Gandhi]]'s assassination and subsequent developments. The founder of the [[Indian Express Group]], [[Ramnath Goenka]], remained dedicated to ''Loksatta''.<ref>{{cite news |title=The Paper Of Courage Continues To Roar At 55|url=http://www.financialexpress.com/news/the-paper-of-courage-continues-to-roar-at-55/68171/2 |publisher=[[The Financial Express (India)|Financial Express]] |date=18 January 2003}}</ref><br />
<br />
After remaining the largest circulated standard Marathi daily for many years, by later 1990s ''Loksatta'' saw competition from newer daily like ''[[Maharashtra Times]]''. By 1997, it only had a circulation of 400,000 in Mumbai, Pune, Ahmednagar and Nagpur combined.<ref>{{cite book| first= Robin |last=Jeffrey |author-link=Robin Jeffrey| title = India's newspaper revolution: capitalism, politics, and the Indian-language press, 1977-99| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=D2H7ByahsJ0C&q=Loksatta+&pg=PA211| date = 2000-04-12| publisher = C.
