Detailed Solution

Battala was dedicated to the printing of popular books.
In Bengal, the publishing of best-selling books was the sole focus of the Battala neighbourhood in the heart of Calcutta. Books deemed vulgar and scandalous, as well as affordable versions of the religious scriptures, could all be purchased here. The Battala magazines were delivered to households by peddlers, allowing women to read them in their free time. In contemporary studies, the term ‘Battala literature’ refers to the many works produced by the Bengali printing presses that first appeared in and around Battala in Calcutta in the nineteenth century.
