Answer:

Print culture is the collection of effects on human society that result from the production of printed forms of communication. Print culture has evolved through several stages as a result of technological advances.

Explanation:

  • The popularity of print culture aided social and religious reformers because they could now disseminate their ideas to the masses via newspapers and books.
  • Different groups of people could then debate these ideas. Reformist ideas were presented in the common people's local, everyday languages in order to create a larger platform for the same.
  • Indian reformers in the nineteenth century used print culture to spread reformist ideas and highlight unethical practices.
  • They began publishing vernacular, English, and Hindi newspapers and books in order to spread their views to the common people of the country about widow immolation, child marriage, monotheism, Brahmanical priesthood, and idolatry.
  • In this way, the spread of print culture in the nineteenth century gave them a platform to challenge religious orthodoxy and spread modern social and political ideas to people speaking different languages across the country.
  • The spread of print culture in nineteenth-century India benefited Indian women through education and learning. The liberal families supported women's education to study or read because they believed education and reading would corrupt the women.
  • As a result, the majority of oppressed women began to study, read books, and learn to write in secret. Some educated women began to write books and autobiographies. Rashasundari Devi, a young married woman, published her autobiography "Amar Jiban" in 1876. Overall, print culture in nineteenth-century India aided in the spread of the sense of self-reliance among Indian women.
  • Because of the low cost of books, the poor people benefited from the spread of print culture. The publication of low-cost books increased readership among them. Public libraries were also established in the early nineteenth century, increasing access to books for all people. Encouraged and inspired by social reformers, people such as factory workers established libraries and even wrote books. 'Chote aur Bade Ka Sawal' was written and published by Kashibaba, a Kanpur mill worker.
