Answer
As a student, my routine of reading a newspaper daily helped to create strong national sentiments against the British in the following ways:
- The newspaper helped me to understand about patriotism and modern liberal ideals of liberty, freedom, equality, home rule and independence.
- The daily criticism of the unjust policies of the British Government in India helped in exposing the true nature of British rule to me.
- Through the newspaper, I could develop and exchange my views with different social groups all over India and know how I could participate and organise political movements.
- The newspaper made me aware about the political and social development of the outside world. This helped me to develop my owns views about our policies and programmes.
