Many people feared that if there was no control over what vyas printed and read, rebellious and irreligious thought might spread.

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 many writers and artists, this anxiety was the basis of widespread criticism of the new printed literature that had began to circulate.

(b) India: Conservative Hindus believed that a literate girl would be widowed and Muslims feared that educated women would be corrupted by reading Urdu romances.

The easily available printed books were feard by the vested intersts like the Clergy, the Learned and the Rich because of the fear of loss of authority and monopoly of education. Recently the vested interest of the newspaper houses were similarly afraid of the availability of free newspaper over the internet. The fears were baseless. Knowledge was restricted among the wealthy and the clergy and they reigned over the masses with that power. These people were naturally afraid.
