The Genesis and the Growth of the Indian National Congress

Author(s) Dr. Vandana Jerin, Ms. Ankita Yadav
Country India
Abstract The Indian National Congress (INC) played a pivotal role in shaping the course of India’s freedom struggle and emerging national identity. Founded in 1885 by A.O. Hume, the INC initially aimed to create a platform for civic and political dialogue among educated Indians under British rule. Over time, it evolved from a moderate petitioning body into a mass movement that spearheaded India’s struggle for independence. Through various phases—Moderate, Extremist, Gandhian, and Revolutionary—the Congress mobilized people across regions, religions, and classes. Leaders like Dadabhai Naoroji, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, and Subhas Chandra Bose guided the organization through significant movements such as the Non-Cooperation Movement, Civil Disobedience Movement, and Quit India Movement. The INC not only fought against colonial policies but also contributed to the socio-economic awakening of India by promoting secularism, democracy, and self-reliance. Its transformation from a reformist group to the principal architect of Indian independence marks its unique and unparalleled place in Indian history.
