At the end of the First World War, Government of India officials
and Indian nationalist politicians began to recognise the need for
an organized communications network that could reach out to a large
and diverse Indian population. The challenge for Government and
nationalists alike was to create an effective propaganda machine
that could both disseminate news and, at the same time, elicit the
desired political response. Milton Israel's 1994 book describes the
role of the press, news services and propaganda agencies in the
last stage of the nationalist struggle in India before the
departure of the British, emphasizing the media's participation in
the development of a 'national' perspective. Within this context,
the author examines the significance of the encounter between
imperialism and nationalism and the influence one had upon the
other in achieving often conflicting objectives.
