Question

Discuss the relationship between print culture, public debate and politics in colonial India

Answer 1

The printing press mediums like newspapers, magazines were mainly under the monopoly of British.

The vernacular press act is an example of this.But as time passes and with the rise of national movement many Indian newspapers and authors also came into being.
