Indian National Congress

Indian National Congress is a political organisation in India. It was founded in 1885. Initiative for its formation was taken by Mr A O Hume.
Its first session was held in Bombay and was presided over by Mr W C Bannerjee.

This session expressed the loyalty of the Indians towards the British Government in clear and unequivocal terms. The objective of this organization was to establish close cooperation between the British Administration and the people of India.
