Summary:

"Monographs, newspapers, pamphlets and posters provide substantial background information on the various movements which troubled India in the period of censorship, and on government/press interaction. Publications Proscribed by the British Government of India contains material in a variety of Indian vernacular languages and includes works written in the Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Marathi, Panjabi, Urdu and Dravidian languages (organized by language), along with material written in English and other European languages. The books, pamphlets, periodicals, newspapers, handbills and posters proscribed by the British government in India are an invaluable printed archive for the study of the Indian freedom struggle during its last four crucial decades from the 1910's to the 1940's. As such they also constitute perhaps one of the largest accumulations of primary literature and ephemera relating to any twentieth-century independence movement"-- Home page
