Answers
Answer:
The initial rule of Britishers was not pretty much concerned with the press but the revolt of 1857 have shocked them. They started to look for anything that could be dangerous for their rule. It results in the Gagging act, according to which now the publishers have to take a license from them. And as the national consciousness grew so does the curb on the press. The Vernacular press act of 1878, the Press Act of 1910. Press Emergency Act of 1931 are few examples which show the restriction on the press.
