Abstract
The fruition of a modern communication structure has
transformed completely the issues and the tactic of those
involved in the South Asian religious, social and political life in
the late eighteenth and early twentieth century. The new regional
leaders discovered the emerging 'new domain' of print culture
with a strong sense of their class and cerebral persuasions and
exploited it for 'their own ends'. Besides the traditional methods
of communication, the fast growing educational institutions,
telegraph, postal services and railroads gave an impetus to the
flourishing print industry for those who were able to use or
misuse them. The adoption of new methods of information
introduced by the missionaries and publicists enabled the
inhabitants' of British India to expand their influence in the
public arena. Journalism was a newer occupation which became
rewarding with launching of numerous newspapers, several
presses and tract/pamphlet societies spread across India. It
equally transformed the status and significance of the regional
leaders who introduced dynamic ideological debates and
institutional building up in each province of Colonial India
