Detailed Solution

The above statement is false.
The Hindu orthodoxy and social and religious reformers engaged in a heated debate over issues including widow immolation, monotheism, the Brahmanical priesthood, and idolatry as a result of Print. Social reformers' ideas reached the general public through print media. For instance, Raja Ram Mohan Roy's ideals and philosophy were conveyed by Sambad Kaumudi. Since its founding in 1867, the Deoband Seminary has written many Fatwas clarifying the implications of Islamic doctrines and advising Muslim readers on how to behave themselves in daily life. Print promoted the reading of religious texts among Hindus as well, particularly in the vernacular languages. The Ramcharitmanas of Tulsidas, work from the 16th century, were first printed in Calcutta in 1810.
The correct statement would be the development of print to encourage religious reforms in India.
