There were no good communication in the past. People used to travel from one place
to another to give information. It used to take more time and energy. In the kingdoms
rulers used to keep “Dhol” (drum). The courtiers used to beat drums before to make
people aware and then only they used to give information. When postal services were
started proper information passed to the people but it was only limited within the
literate people. So, it was not much effective. When telephone service started then
people’s life become very faster and easier. The television attracted people of all age.
Children, youths, males, females, everyone enjoy the various programs on television.
