Synopsis The Press occupies a unique position in the history of modern India. It has very ably played an upparalleled role on influencing the public opinion for the freedom of the country. Occasionally, it was perhaps the only means of expression of the country’s aspirations. Over the years, it has been instrumental in the awkening of the people and there is no dearth of information concerning social, political, economic and other developments in India and abroad. Press in India, it is hoped, will be of immense use to academics, researchers, journalists and others for making an in-depth study in this field.
