After the revolt of 1857 the following changes took place :
- DURING THE PERIOD OF WILLIAM BENTNICK , THOMAS MACAULAY FORMULATED NEW RULES IN FAVOR OF VERNACULAR PRESS .
- AFTER THIS THE PRESS STARTED PRINTING A LOT OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE ENGLISHMEN THAT AWAKENED THE MASSES .
- THIS ENRAGED THE ENGLISHMEN AND THEY IMPOSED VERNACULAR PRESS ACT
- ACCORDING TO THIS ACT IF A REPORT OR ARTICLE WAS JUDGED AS SEDITIOUS THEN THE PRESS WAS WARNED , AND IF THE WARNING WAS IGNORED THEN THE PRESS WAS LIABLE TO BE SEIZED AND THE PRINTING MACHINERY WAS TO BE CONFISCATED .
- CONCLUSION : AFTER THESE MEASURES ALSO , THE PRESS KEPT ON PRINTING REPORTS WHICH WERE SEDITIOUS ACCORDING TO THE ENGLISH GOVERNMENT . THIS SHOWS THE TRUE FEELING OF NATIONALISM .
