The first issue of the magazine came out at the height of the Naxalbari movement in November 1967. For a brief period the magazine could not be published due to severe state crackdown on the Party and the gradual splintering away of the movement. Liberation is the ideological-political organ of the Party reflecting the theory and practice of the revolutionary left in India.
Liberation is a monthly magazine.
One year's subscription to the magazine gets you nine regular issues plus one annual number which is brought around April every year. The annual number being three times the size of a regular issue, in lieu of it, the issues for the month of March and May are dropped.
