Write a essay on the development of print culture under East India Company

Answer 1

Explanation:

                Calcutta had grown as the first city for printing. The East India Company had introduced printing not only to facilitate trade but also to unite the empire. The major part of the revenue was generated by printing the calendar and almanacs.

                The printing would not have gone so far without the approval of East India Company. The machines were imported from Europe. The early days were remarkable as that was the transition period while in 19th century, printing culture developed in profitable manner. During this period, Indians had started participating in the western modes of public interaction.
