The foremost reason of public awareness in Rajasthan was Swami Dayanand Saraswati and his influence. He was the first social reformer to blow the trumpet for selfmade products and self rule. The second reason was newspapers and literature. Rajputana gazette, ‘Rajasthan Kesari’ and ‘Naveen Rajasthan’ were the main newspapers. The role of middle class was another reason. In this, educationist, advocate and journalist Jai Narayan Vyas, Master Bhola Nath were prominent.
The armies of almost all the states of Rajasthan participated in the 1st world war. The armymen shared their own experiences and introduced the people of Rajasthan to nationalistic ideas. The external environment’s influence was a major reason of public awareness. The national leaders and their programmes also influenced people.
