Detailed Solution

The given statement is false. The spread of the print culture among the masses in India was made possible by producing small and cheap books from the 19th century, which were sold at crossroads, making it easy for poor people to buy them. Libraries were also opened from the beginning of the 20th century with the help of social reformers who knew the power that knowledge wielded in eradicating bad habits like excessive consumption of alcohol and also circulating nationalist sentiments. These developments resulted in the spread of literacy among poor people like industrial labourers who also started writing. One such work by a Kanpur millworker was the ‘Chhote Aur Bade Ka Sawal’. Kashibaba wrote it in 1938, and its theme was the interrelation between caste and class exploitation.
The correct statement would be that Kashibaba did not write and publish Gulamgiri.
