Role of Press
Many newspapers and magazines in the vernacular languages were also brought out. These newspapers played a significant role in developing a strong national sentiment among the Indians in the following manner:
i) It was through the press that the message of patriotism and modern liberal ideals of liberty, freedom, equality, home rule and independence, spread among the people.
(ii) The press exposed the true nature of British rule in India.
(iii) It made possible the exchange of views among different social groups from different parts of the country and organizing political movements.
