Indian National Congress

Introduction 

• The idea of forming a political organisation that would raise issues and grievances against the colonial rule did not emerge in a vacuum. 
• Between 1875 and 1885 there were many agitations against British policies in India
• The Indian textile industry was campaigning for imposition of cotton import duties in 1875. 
• In 1877, demands for the Indianisation of Government services were made vociferously. 
• There were protests against the Vernacular Press Act of 1878. In 1883, there was an agitation in favour of the Ilbert Bill
• But these agitations and protests were sporadic and not coordinated. 
• There was a strong realisation that these protests would not impact on the policy makers unless a national political organisation was formed. 
• From this realisation was born the Indian National Congress. 

• The concept of India as a nation was reflected in the name of the organisation. It also introduced the concept of nationalism.
