Director : Dr.G.S.Raina
Vernacular Press in pre-independence India: Media has all along been the backbone for India’s struggle for independence was no exception. Right from the time of India's First War of Independence in 1857, Hindi/Urdu journals like Payam-e-Azadi and Samachar Sudhavarshan supported the struggle for freedom. James Augustus Hickey in 1780 started The Bengal Gazette, the first newspaper in India, it was seized in 1872 because of its outspoken criticism of the Government. Later more newspapers/ journals came up—The Bengal journal, Calcutta Chronicle, Madras Courier, Bombay Herald. This provoked the British to launch a Vernacular Press Act, popularly known as the Gagging Act, in 1878, imposing many restrictions on the newspapers and periodicals of the day to repress seditious writing.
