2. These newspapers published articles written, by various national leaders. Their ideas were communicated to people through the different newspaper.
3. The people of various communities and places were thus connected, by print media. Therefore, newspapers conveyed news from one place to another creating pan-indian identities.
4. The nationalist newspapers exposed the colonial misrule and encouraged nationalist activities. As these were written in spoken languages of different regions common man could understand the content.
