The Vernacular Press Act was passed in British India in the year ______.
1878
The correct answer is 1878.
Press Act, 1910: This act revived some of the provisions of the 1878 Act and aimed at suppressing seditious publications. It granted local government the power to demand security deposits from printers and publishers and confiscate them if they published objectionable material. These acts reflect the ongoing tension between the British administration's desire to maintain control and the growing Indian nationalist movement's use of the press to disseminate ideas and mobilise public opinion.
