In today’s society , photography plays an important role as an information medium, as a tool of science and technology and as an art form . It is used in advertisements and documentation .It shows us scenes from historical events, illustrates current affairs in the newspapers and magazines, takes pictures of friends and celebrations.

The most important characteristic of photography was that it pictrised the event as it is and did not depend upon whims and fancies of the painter. .

In the 19th century , photographers took photographers of well- known personalities and nationalists events. We can see numerous photographs of the nationalist movement with the people carrying the charkha , or how people demonstrating against the Simon Commission . These memories are permanently etched in our minds. Photographs are a valuable source of information for the posterity.
