Answers
There were several factors which lead to the emergence of the Indian National Congress, among these were
1) Centralisation of administration- The Indian National Congress was united in its voice that there should be no centralization of administration which is precisely what the British were doing.
2) It was formed to take the destiny of the Indians in their own hands as we could not develop economically under British rule.
3) Western education led the leaders of the INC to understand the values and beauty of democracy and made them think that Indians also should have justice.
4) Study of ancient history taught the Indian people about the glory of ancient India, and they felt they could reach this level again.
5) Newspapers spread a significant role in mobilizing national sentiment.
