Question

Lord Lytton’s Vernacular Press Act placed restrictions on Indian Press and curbed the freedom of speech and expression during the British Rule. Is Indian Press and digitalmedia free now? Do we now have more freedom of speech and expression? Give proper reasons to support your view.​

Answer 1

Answer:

In British India, the Vernacular Press Act (1878) was enacted to curtail the freedom of the Indian press and prevent the expression of criticism toward British policies—notably, the opposition that had grown with the outset of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–80).[1] The Act was proposed by Lord Lytton, then Viceroy of India, and was unanimously passed by the Viceroy's Council on 14 March 1878.
