As soon as we get up in the morning, we eagerly wait for the newspaper. No sooner is the paper delivered than every one wants to read it. Times were when the number of newspapers was very small. And even those few were in English. It was Rammohan Roy who first published a newspaper in an Indian language.
Newspapers are absolutely necessary to reform the people.
It is possible to make thousands of people understand many things in their own language. Atmiya Sabha' used to publish a weekly called 'Vangal Gazette'. In those days, items of news and articles had to be approved by the government before being published. So, there was no freedom of the press. Rammohan protested against this control.
