India came under British dominance in 1757, when the East India Company established its headquarters in Calcutta, present day Kolkata. In 1858, the East India Company was replaced by the British Government and Indians became subjects of the British Crown. Even though there were several sporadic armed movements against the British, it was the great Mahatma Gandhi, a practitioner and preacher of non-violence, who won independence for us. India's independence was won through peaceful and non-violent mass movements and civil disobedience. The best fruit of freedom for Indians has been its vibrant democracy.
Kenya virtually came under British rule in 1895 when the East African Protectorate was formed, but was officially declared a colony in 1920. The Mau Mau Uprising between 1952 and 1956 was the first serious fight against oppression. However, the leader of the armed movement, Jomo Kenyatta, was arrested immediately; in 1956, the other leader, Dedan Kimathi, was captured. The movement died out soon after. In 1957, election to the Legislative Council was held for the first time. The members of the council continually demanded that Kenyatta be released. Eventually, Kenya became independent on 12th December, 1963 and Jomo Kenyatta became the first Prime Minister. In 1966, the single opposition party, left-leaning KPU was banned and its leader arrested; tragically, the aconstitution was amended, Kenyatta became President and single-party rule was established.

Guilds were powerful associations of producers that trained craftspeople, maintained control over production, regulated competition and prices, and restricted the entry of new people into the trade. They had been granted the monopoly right to produce and trade in specific products by the rulers. It was therefore difficult for new merchants to set up business in towns.

Although the invention of the printing press by Johann Gutenberg did not stop the production of handwritten books, it did bring about a paradigm shift in the production process and the reading patterns. Between 1450 and 1550, the printing press spread to almost all countries of Europe. Printers from Germany even migrated to other parts of the continent, seeking work and setting up presses. As the number of printing presses increased, book production skyrocketed, flooding the market with books. This transition from hand printing to mechanical printing is referred to as 'print revolution'.
The impact of Print Revolution
(i) The shift from hand printing to mechanical printing is known as the print revolution.
(ii) It led to the growth and development in technique and production of books.
(iii) It transformed the lives of people by opening the door of knowledge to a vast literate population. It also changed people’s relationship to information and knowledge and with institution and authorities.
(iv) It influenced people’s conception and opened new ways of looking at things.
(v) It encouraged debates and discussions on written texts and encouraged freedom of opinion on important issues. Generated a new reading habit and book culture.
