Newspapers played a crucial role during the Indian freedom movement by effectively arousing the sentiments of the people and mobilizing them against British misrule. The press not only created awareness about political and social issues but also facilitated the spread of ideas for a representative government among the public. Furthermore, it heightened the people's understanding of their own circumstances in India. The struggle for press freedom against the British government was integral to the national movement, demonstrating the significance of the press as a powerful tool for communication during that time.
