After the Revolt of 1857, the attitude to freedom of the press changed.
Enraged Englishmen demanded a clamp down on the 'native' press. As
vernacular newspapers became assertively nationalist, the colonial
gOvernment began debating measures of stringent control. In 1878, the
Vemacular Press Act was passed, modelled on the Irish Press Laws. It
provided the government with extensive rights to censor reports and
editerials in the vernacular press. From now on the government kept
regular track of the vernacular newspapers published in different
provinces. When a report was judged as seditious, the newspaper was
warned, and if the warning was ignored, the press was liable to be seized
and the printing machinery confiscated.

example, Gandhiji was very apt in voicing his concern about resource
conservation in these words: "There is enough for everybody's need and
not for any body's greed." He placed the greedy and selfish individuals
and exploitative nature of modern technology as the root cause for
resource depletion at the global level. He was against mass production
and wanted to replace it with the production by the masses.
