The national movement pointed more at the exchange of capacity to Indians than at the destruction of pre-free enterprise structures. The Indian National Movement is likewise a case of how the established space offered by the current structure could be utilized without getting co-picked by it. The press, indeed, succeeded to a large extent infounding the ideological foundation of modem India. Through the cooperation and assistance of press,conferences, meetings and congregations could be held from time totime; controversies could be settled, movements organized, institutionsbuild up and their programmes and policies could reach the masses.It is worth mentioning that different community’s organizationand political associations founded their own press, Newspapers, Magazines, etc.All of these associations, irrespective of their characters, aimand objectives felt and understood the advantages and use of the press. They managed their own newspapers and journals. After 1857, the mostimportant evolution that took place was the relationship between theAnglo-Indian Press and the people of India.During 1858-85 the history of press and journalism had specialsignificance because of several reasons. Not only educated andthoughtful individuals were attracted towards them, rather a wide gulfderived them away from their English counterparts.The changes in the social and monetary existence of India in the 19th century had been, as it were, the commitment of the press.The press gave backing and exposure to the Tamil reason. It helped the general population to frame their own supposition by offering impartial and solid analysis dependent on realities. The writing of the loyalists and intelligent people achieved disobedience in the psyches of the Indians.The press awakened the people about their rights to freedom andfighting the repression. Thus, the press in India played the role ofheralding a socio-political revolutionary ferment during the freedom struggle.
