Impact of the means of transportation and communication on the national movement : 

British government spread a network of transportation and communication to facilitate administration, military protection, economic development and full exploitation of trade.The network of metal – led roads connected different provinces with one another. The villages were connected to big cities. The railway connected the various parts of the country into one unit.

The electrical wires and the postal system integrated the various parts of the country. For international letters, a postal stamp of 2 paisa was enough, and the newspapers and parcels, could be sent from one part of the country to another at minimal cost. All these facilities brought about tremendous change in social, educational, political and intellectual life of the nation.

Nationalistic literature could be sent to various places through post offices which were functional in every corner of the country. Although the British had established these facilities for their own comfort, yet geographical distances between Indians lessened due to these. They started establishing mutual contact with one another. In their way, these modes provided momentum to the national movement.
