For ten years, Setalvad worked as a mainstream journalist. Then, she and her husband left their regular employment to launch the monthly journal Communalism Combat in 1993 in reaction to the Hindu-Muslim riots in Mumbai.
Javed Anand, the co-founder of Communalism Combat and Setalvad’s husband, claims that they chose to depart from traditional journalism and launch a magazine because it provided them with a platform that allowed them to take action in ways they otherwise couldn’t have.
The magazine’s final print run ended in November 2012. They then transitioned to the digital sphere by launching a website, which has since become dormant.
