As the print technology came the books were printing very vastly by the people and there was a huge demand by the society for new books
These books which were circulating worked as a agent of spreading ideas and knowledge . Women started writing books, expressing their situation and need of equality
Pepeole also wrote different kinds of books to unify nation, create a sense of nationalism.
On the other hand they also wrote books on religion expressing their view on a particular religion.
For example, when Martin Luther wrote "the ninety five theses" criticising many practices of the Roman Catholics, the society divided into protestants and catholics . Jothiba phule wrote, gulamdari which said about women and low caste people.
In this way people become informative and knowledgeable. Rather than the sentiment of relationships they looked in educative manner.
