The print culture immensely helped the growth in the growth of
nationalism in India in the following ways :
→ Through vernacular press, oppressive methods of colonial
rule were reported.
→ The misrule of government and its initiative on curbing the
freedom of press spread the nationalist ideas that demanded
freedom of press.
→ Nationalist feelings and revolutionary ideas were secretly
spread by the dailies like - The Amrit Bazar Patrika, The Indian
Mirror, Kesri, The Hindu, Bombay Samachar etc. Through these
newspapers national leaders always tried to mobilize public
opinion of Indian masses and unite them for the cause of
nationalism.
→ The print culture helped in educating the people who then
started to be gradually influenced by the reformist and
nationalist ideas of the various Indian leaders like Raja Ram
Mohun Roy, Tilak, Subhas Bose and Gandhiji etc.
