Indian press and literature played a powerful role in the freedom struggle by spreading national awareness and awakening the spirit of patriotism among the people. Newspapers, journals, pamphlets, poems, novels, and plays highlighted British injustices and inspired unity against colonial rule. Leaders like Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi, and Subhas Chandra Bose used the press to communicate ideas of swaraj, non-violence, and resistance. Vernacular newspapers helped reach the common masses, while nationalist literature motivated youth and revolutionaries. This topic is very important for competitive exams like JKSSB, SSC, UPSC, and State PSCs, and is frequently asked in MCQs.
