Abstract

The influence of Nationalist Muslim Press and Political literature helped the spread of Indian nationalism in the Madras Presidency between 1914 and 1920. The active propaganda of the Muslim Press and political literature in favour of the national movement and government’s rigid stand against the Muslim press marked a turning point in the political history of the Madras Presidency.
