In 1878, the Vernacular Press Act was passed by the British government in India so that the letters of Indian languages could be kept strictly controlled. At that time, Lord Litton was the Governor-General of India and the Viceroy. In this act, there was a provision of strict action on the publication of such material in the letters-journals so that there is a possibility of public dissatisfaction with the British rule. Actually this law was brought to suppress linguistic newspapers. The Amrit Bazar Patrika, published in Kolkata from Kolkata on the very next day of the passage of the country press act, made himself an 'English daily' letter. Its editor was Aditya Kumar Ghosh.
Hundreds of national letters and magazines were seized under this Act. The locks were put in the press. In order to awaken national consciousness among the indigenous peoples, Latekar Bankimchandra Chattopadhyaya (1838-1894) came to Vande Matarlekar of 'Ananda Math', which caused the wrath of the British rulers. By provoking Muslims, many copies of 'Anandthaat' were burnt (Encyclopedia Britannica: Ramesh Chandra Dutt).
The Vernacular Press Act became very infamous and after the change in power in England was canceled in 1881 and the old laws of 1867 continue to be continued...Vernacular Press Act, in British India, lawenacted in 1878 to curtail the freedom of the Indian-language (i.e., non-English) press. Proposed by Lord Lytton, then viceroy of India (governed 1876–80), the act was intended to prevent the vernacular press from expressing criticismof British policies—notably, the opposition that had grown with the outset of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878–80). The act excluded English-language publications. It elicited strong and sustained protests from a wide spectrum of the Indian populace.The law was repealed in 1881 by Lytton’s successor as viceroy, Lord Ripon(governed 1880–84). However, the resentment it produced among Indians became one of the catalysts giving rise to India’s growing independence movement. Among the act’s most vocal critics was the Indian Association(founded 1876), which is generally considered to be one of the precursors of the Indian National Congress (founded 1885).
