In what way did the means of transport and communication contribute to the growth of nationalism?
Answer
The improvements in the means of transport and communication quickened the pace of free movement in the country. The English built roads and railways and set up post and telegraph offices in India. The leaders used these means to carry the message of the national movement to all parts of the country. These means enabled the leaders and the people to meet together, to discuss their problems and chalk out plans for the uprooting of the British Rule and for the liberation of their country.
