The Vernacular Press Act was enacted in 1878. It was enacted to control those who were critical of the government. This act allowed the government to seize the assets of newspapers, including their printing presses if the editors published anything that was found “objectionable”. The act was proposed by the then Viceroy of India, Lytton, to regulate the freedom of the Indian press, avoid criticism of British policies, and manage strong opinions that conveyed unhappiness with the government.
