Question 5 ) Why did some people fear the effect of easily available printed books? Choose one example from Europe and one from India?
Ans.
Print created the possibility of wide circulation of ideas and introduced a new world of debate and discussion. Even those who disagreed with established authorities could now print and circulate their ideas.
This developed fear among some people. They became apprehensive of the effects that the easier access to the printed words and the wider circulation of books, could have on people’s minds. It was feared that if there was no control over what was printed and read then rebellious and irreligious thoughts might spread. If that happened the authority of ‘valuable’ literature would be destroyed.
Expressed by religious authorities and monarchs, as well as several writers and artists, this anxiety was the basis of widespread criticism of the new printed literature that had begun to circulate.
For example, in 1517, the religious reformer Martin Luther wrote Ninety-five Theses criticizing many of the practices and rituals of the Roman Catholic immediately reproduced in vast numbers and read widely. This led to a division within the Church and to the beginning of the Protestant Reformation.
In India, conservative Hindus believed that a literate girl would be widowed and Muslims feared that educated women would be corrupted by reading Urdu romances. Sometimes, rebel women defied such prohibitions.
