India had a rich history, and its people still upheld the ideals espoused by its spiritual leaders. The intelligentsia took a hit as postcolonialism emerged, and resentment of colonial harshness rose as a result. As the British government committed crimes in the name of the law, nationalists were busy plotting an alternative media that would rouse the public against it. At times, the repression became very intense, and the authorities' despotism persisted. The government, backed by a few touts, had complete control over the media and the courts, so it decided to disseminate just one masternarrative, that of delivering civilization to the barbarians. The study makes an effort, based on the writings of empathetic writers from the time period, to piece together a timeline of events leading up to independence. Some authors, including a handful who write in Indian languages, examine the mahatma figure's role in Indian history and society. After a protracted battle, India won its freedom from British domination. The fight for independence cost the lives of an untold number of Indians and caused extensive material damage. Even though India has been free for more than seven decades, the country's martyrs are seldom honoured outside of national holidays. The national press was crucial to the Indian independence struggle. Numerous examples of how journalism and the media helped the independence struggle were included in the paper. The independence warriors utilised national journalism as a keen weapon to sever the roots of the British authority in India, despite the stringent laws and limitations imposed by the foreign government. There has been a SWOT analysis of the news media at the time of the independence struggle. During the time before independence, national media attempted to address social and economic issues plaguing the country. The Indian people gained a fresh perspective thanks to national media under the British Raj. The study also looked at the pre-independence period's non-commercial mass media.
