This collection includes over 1,600 items banned by the British Government in
India prior to 1947.
India was one of the first developing countries
to achieve independence, and its efforts to do
so presented a potential
threat to Great Britain's colonial empire.
This rising
tide of nationalism in India in the early 20th
century, along with the mounting communal tension
between Hindus and Muslims, found expression
in a variety of propagandist literature published
in both Western and Indian languages.
The British Government attempted to suppress
much of this
material through censorship, banning and other
restrictions imposed on the press. Digital guide. |
