💡 Solution & Explanation
G. Subramania Iyer co-founded both the English daily The Hindu in 1878 and established the Tamil nationalist newspaper Swadesamitran in 1882 to articulate public grievances against colonial rule. The Justice newspaper was promoted by leaders like Dr. C. Natesa Mudaliar and the South Indian Liberal Federation, while Thiru. Vi. Kalyanasundaranar edited Navashakti to propagate Gandhian ideals and labor rights. The vernacular press played a vital role in shaping political consciousness in the Madras Presidency.
