The Indian National Congress (INC), which celebrates its Foundation Day on December 28, is a tribute to India`s rich political history and unwavering fight for independence. The Congress Party, founded in 1885, played an important role in moulding India`s fate and forging a united front against colonial rule.
The founding members of the party, including Allan Octavian Hume, Dadabhai Naoroji, and Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee, envisioned a platform to address the complaints of the Indian public under British rule. However, the party`s character as a vanguard of the Indian liberation Movement was shaped by stalwarts such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, and a legion of liberation fighters.
