Do you agree that Indian National Congress was not only the association of educated elite but also the common people of India? Give reasons?
Answers
Answer:
The Indian National Congress (abbr. INC), colloquially the Congress Party but often simply Congress, is a political party in India with widespread roots.[23] Founded in 1885, it was the first modern nationalist movement to emerge in the British Empire in Asia and Africa.[a][24] From the late 19th century, and especially after 1920, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, Congress became the principal leader of the Indian independence movement.[25] Congress led India to independence from the United Kingdom,[d] and powerfully influenced other anti-colonial nationalist movements in the British Empire.[e][24] Due to its enduring history, the Congress is often called the "grand old party".
