Assertive Nationalists because they used the Vernacular press as a medium. Explnation: The Assertive Nationalists had a wider reach because they shifted from elite-level petitions to mass mobilization. By using Vernacular press (regional languages like Marathi in Tilak’s Kesari), they broke the language barrier that limited the Early Nationalists’ English-language appeals to the educated few. This allowed nationalist ideas to penetrate rural areas and reach the common man, transforming the struggle into a popular movement.
