Print and Censorship
Censorship was not an issue for the East India Company prior to 1798. The Calcutta Supreme Court then, established a number of restrictions on press freedom by the 1820s, and Governor-General Bentinck consented to amend the press laws in 1835. New regulations created by Thomas Macaulay brought back the prior freedom. After the uprising in 1857, there were changes to press freedom. The Vernacular Press Act, which was established in 1878 and was based on the Irish Press Laws, gave the government broad authority to regulate articles and editorials published in the vernacular press. The government began monitoring the local publications. The number of nationalist newspapers increased throughout India. When Punjabi rebels were expelled in 1907, Bal Gangadhar Tilak wrote about them sympathetically in the book Kesari, which resulted in his arrest in 1908.
