Question. Why did some people in the eighteenth century Europe think that print culture would bring enlightenment and end despotism ?
Or
Assess the impact of print revolution on the European society.
Answer:
(i) Spreading of new ideas : After the coming of the print culture, the ideas of scientists and philosophers now became more accessible to the common people. Ancient and medieval scientific texts were compiled and published.
(ii) Scientific discoveries : Maps and more accurate scientific diagrams were widely printed. When scientists like Issac Newton began to publish their discoveries,
they could influence a much wider circle of scientifically minded readers.
(iii) Writings of scholars : The writings of thinkers such as Thomas Paine, Voltaire and Jean Jacques Rousseau were also widely printed, and could gain popularity.
Thus, their ideas about science, reasoning and rationality found their way into popular literature.

Question. Why did some people fear the effect of the easily available printed books ?
Choose one example from Europe and one from India.
Or
Explain the role played by print in bringing about a division in the Roman Catholic Church.
Or
Explain the role played by print in the spreading of Protestant Reformation.
Answer: Not everyone welcomed the printed books and those, who did, also had fear about them. Many were of the opinion that printed words and the wider circulation of books,
would have a negative impact on people’s minds. They feared that if there was no control over what was printed and read, then rebellious and irreligious thoughts might
gain importance. There was also fear in the minds of scholars that the authority of ‘valuable’ literature would be destroyed. The new print was criticised by religious
authorities, monarchs, as well as by writers and artists. Let us consider the implication of this in one sphere of life in the early modern Europe, i.e., religion. Martin Luther
was a German monk, priest, professor and a Church reformer. In 1517, he wrote Ninety Five Theses and openly criticized many of the practices and rituals of the
Roman Catholic Church. A printed copy of this was pasted on a Church door in Wittenberg. It challenged the Church to debate his ideas. Luther’s writings were
immediately copied in vast numbers and read widely. This led to a division within the Church, and led to the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. Manx; conservative
Funds believed that a literate girl would be widowed and Muslims believed that educated women could get corrupted by reading Urdu romances. There were many instances of women defying this prohibition.

Question. Explain how the print culture assisted the growth of nationalism in India.
Answer: (i) New ideas and debates : There were many who criticized the existing practices and campaigned for reforms, while others countered the arguments of the reformers. These debates were carried out openly in public and in print. Printed tracts and newspapers not only spread the new ideas, but they also shaped the nature of the debate. All this assisted the growth of nationalism.
(ii) Connecting various communities : Print did not only stimulate the publication of conflicting opinions amongst communities, but it also connected communities and people living in different parts of India. Newspapers conveyed news from one place to another, creating pan Indian identities.
(iii) Print and news paper : Despite repressive measures, nationalist newspapers grew in numbers in all parts of India. They reported on colonial misrule and encouraged nationalist activities. When Punjab revolutionaries were deported in 1907, Balgangadhar Tilak wrote with great sympathy about them in Kesari.
(iv) Various novels on national history: Many novels written by Indian novelists like Bankim’s Anandamath created a sense of pan Indian belonging. Munshi Premchand’s novel, Godan highlighted how Indian peasants were exploited by the colonial bureaucrats.
(v) Various images of Bharatmata : Printers like Raja Ravi Verma and Rabindranath Tagore produced images of Bharatmata which produced a sense of nationalism among IndiAnswer: The devotion to mother figure came to be seen as an evidence of one’s nationalism.

Long Answer Type Questions

Question : How did the print media affect the women in India?
Answer : 
Lives and feelings of women were written with intensity. This increased the number of women who took to reading. Liberal husbands and fathers started educating their womenfolk at home and some sent them to schools. Many journals began carrying writings by women, and explained why women should be educated. They also carried a syllabus and attached suitable reading matter which could be used for home-based schooling. Superstition was a reason for illiteracy among a large population of women.
• Conservative Hindus believed that a literate girl would be widowed.
• Muslims feared that educated women would be corrupted by reading Urdu romances. Social reforms and novels created a great interest in women’s lives and emotions. Women’s opinions and views were slowly considered and respected. Stories were written about how about how women were imprisoned at home, kept in ignorance, forced to do hard domestic
labour and treated unjustly by the very people they served. Stories about the miserable lives of upper-caste Hindu women, especially widows also appeared in print. These stories paved the way for the liberation of the suppressed Indian woman.
Other kinds of literature solely for women soon flooded the markets.
• Article on household and fashion lessons for women.
• Articles on issues like women’s education, widowhood, widow remarriage and the national movement.
• Short stories and serialised novels.
• Folk literature. In Bengal, an entire area in central Calcutta – the Battala – was devoted to the printing of popular books. These books were being profusely illustrated with woodcuts and coloured lithographs. Peddlers took the Battala publications to homes, enabling women to read them in their leisure time.
 
Question : Examine the reasons for a virtual reading mania in Europe in the 18th century? 
Answer : The following were the reasons for a virtual reading mania in Europe in the 18th century.
i. Through the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, literacy rates went up in most parts of Europe. Churches of different denominations set up schools in villages, carrying literacy to peasants and artisans. By the end of the eighteenth century, in some parts of Europe, literacy rates were as high as 60 to 80 per cent.
ii. New forms of popular literature appeared in print targeting new audiences. There were almanacks or ritual calendars, along with ballads and folk-tales. In England, penny chapbooks were sold for a penny so that even the poor could buy them. In France, there were Bibliotheque Bleue, which were low priced books.
iii. People believed that books were the means to spread knowledge. The periodical press combined information about current affairs with entertainment.
Newspapers and journals carried information about wars and trade, as well as news of developments in other places.
iv. Scientists like Issac Newton could influence a large circle of people. The writings of Thomas Paine, Voltaire and Jean Jacques Rousseau were widely read. Their idea of reason and rationality was popular among the people.
 
Question : "Print led to intense controversies between social and religious reformers and Hindu orthodoxy.” Support the statement with example. 
Answer : Print led to intense controversies between social and religious reformers and Hindu orthodoxy over matters like widow immolation, monotheism, brahmanical priesthood and idolatry.
i. In Bengal as the debate developed tracts and newspapers proliferated circulating a variety of arguments.
ii. To reach a wider audience, the ideas were printed in the everyday spoken language of local people.
iii. Raja Rammohan Roy published the ‘Sambad Kaumud’ from 1821 and the Hindu orthodoxy commissioned the ‘Samachar Chandrika' to oppose the opinions of Rammohan Roy.
iv. From 1822 two Persian newspapers were published, ‘Jam-i-Jahan Nama' and 'Shamsul Akhba'.
 

Question :  Give reasons for the following :
(a) Martin Luther was in favour of print, and spoke out in praise of it.
(b) The Roman Catholic Church began keeping an Index of Prohibited books from the mid sixteenth century.
(c) Gandhi said the fight for ‘Swaraj is a fight for the liberty of speech, liberty of the press and freedom of association.
Answer : (a) Because it was the printing press which gave him a chance to criticise many of the practices and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church.
(b) Print and popular literature encouraged many distinctive interpretations of religious faiths and ideas. In the 16th century, Manocchio, a miller in Italy began to read books available readily in his locality. He gave a new interpretation of the Bible, and formulated a view of God, and creation that enraged the Roman Catholic Church. As a result, Manocchio was hauled up twice, and ultimately executed when the Roman Church began its inquisition, and to repress the therapeutical ideas. After this several control measures were imposed on publishers and booksellers. In 1558, the Roman Church decided to maintain an Index of prohibited books.
(c) Mahatma Gandhi uttered these words in 1922 during the Non Cooperation Movement (1920-1922). Because according to him without the liberty of speech, the liberty of the press and freedom of association, no nation can even survive. If the country was to get free from foreign domination, then these liberties were quite important. If there is no liberty of speech, liberty of press and freedom of association, then there is no nationalism. Nationalism requires these three prerequisites for its survival. Mahatma Gandhi fully knew the fact. That is why, he said so, particularly about these three freedoms. How could one ever think of nationalism in the absence of these three essential conditions ?

Question : How did the practice of reading and writing increase among women in India in the 19th century. Support your answer with the help of examples.
Answer : 
(i) Writings about lives and feelings of Women: Lives and feelings of women began to be written in particularly vivid and intense ways. Women’s reading, therefore, increased enormously in middle-class homes. (ii) Women and liberal families: Liberal husbands and fathers began educating their womenfolk at home, and sent them to schools when women’s schools were set up in the cities and towns after the mid-nineteenth century. Many journals began carrying writings by women, and explained why women should be educated. They also carried a syllabus and attached suitable reading matter which could be used for home-based schooling. (iii) Women and Conservatives: Conservative Hindus believed that a literate girl would be widowed and Muslims feared that educated women would be corrupted by reading Urdu romances. Reaction: (i) Sometimes, rebel women defied such prohibition. In East Bengal, in the early nineteenth century, Rashsundari Debi, a young married girl in a very orthodox household, learnt to read in the secrecy of her kitchen. Later, she \yrote her autobiography Amar Jiban which was published in 1876. It was the first full- length autobiography published in the Bengalilanguage. (ii) In the 1880s, in present-day Maharashtra, Tarabai Shinde and Pandita Ramabai wrote with passionate anger about the miserable lives of upper-caste Hindu women, especially widows. (iii) A woman in a Tamil novel expressed what reading meant to women who were so greatly confined by social regulations: ‘For various reasons, my world is small. More than half my life’s happiness has come from books. (iv) In 1926, Begum Rokeya Sakhawat Hossein, a noted educationist and literary figure, strongly condemned men • for withholding education from women in the name of religion.

Question : Write short notes to show that you know about:
(a) The Erasmus’s idea of the printed book.
(b) The Vernacular Press Act.
Answer :
 
(a) Erasmus’s idea of the printed book : Erasmus, a Latin scholar and a Catholic reformer, who criticised the excesses of Catholicism,but kept his distance from, Luther, expressed a deep anxiety about printing. He wrote in Adages (1508) :
‘To what corner of the world do they not fly, these swarms of new books ? It may be that one here and there contributes something worth knowing, but the very multitude of them is hurtful to scholarship, because it creates a glut and even in good things, satiety is most harmful… [printers] fill the world with books, not just trifling things (such as I write, perhaps), but stupid, ignorant, slanderous, scandalous, raving, irreligious and seditious books, and the number of them is such that even the valuable publications lose their value.’
(b) The Vernacular Press Act : The revolt of 1857 forced the government to curb the freedom of the press. After the revolt, enraged Englishmen demanded a clamp down on the ‘native’ press. As vernacular newspapers became assertively nationalist, the colonial government began debating measures of strict control. In 1878, the Vernacular Press Act was passed, on the model of Irish Press Laws. It provided the government with extensive rights to censor reports and editorials in the vernacular press. The government started keeping regular track of the vernacular newspapers published in different provinces. When a report was judged as seditious, the newspapers were given a warning and if the warning was ignored, the press was liable to be seized, and the printing machinery could be confiscated.
