28 December - Indian National Congress Party was founded in 1885

 


The Indian National Congress (INC), one of the major political parties in India, was founded on 28 December 1885. The founding session took place in Bombay (now Mumbai), and the party was established with the aim of seeking a greater share in government for educated Indians. The founding members included prominent figures such as A.O. Hume, Dadabhai Naoroji, Dinshaw Wacha, Womesh Chunder Bonnerjee, Monomohun Ghose, and William Wedderburn.

The INC played a pivotal role in India's struggle for independence against British colonial rule. Over the years, it has been a dominant political force in the country and has produced several key leaders who played significant roles in shaping post-independence India. The party has gone through various phases and changes in leadership, contributing to the political landscape of the nation.
