Answers
Answer:
The Indian National Congress was founded on 28 December 1885 by the active help of A. O. Hume a retired British Officer. Prior to it there existed the East India Association established by Dadabhai Naoriji in 1867, the Indian Reform Association under Keshub Chunder Sen and Indian National Association founded by Surendranath Banerjee and Anand Mohan Bose in 1876. All of these political associations were mainly formed for demanding a higher share in the Indian Civil Services, a higher share in the British Governance of India all under the prospects of adhering to the sovereignty of the British crown. The INC was born with the prime motto of demanding an independent government under the British crown and had initially strong faith in the Brtitish Crown
Answer:
Allan Octavian Hume, CB ICS (4 June 1829 – 31 July 1912) was a British member of the Imperial Civil Service (later the Indian Civil Service), a political reformer, ornithologist and botanist who worked in British India. He was the founder of the Indian National Congress. A notable ornithologist, Hume has been called "the Father of Indian Ornithology" and, by those who found him dogmatic, "the Pope of Indian ornithology".As an administrator of Etawah, he saw the Indian Rebellion of 1857 as a result of misgovernance and made great efforts to improve the lives of the common people. The district of Etawah was among the first to be returned to normalcy and over the next few years Hume's reforms led to the district being considered a model of development. Hume rose in the ranks of the Indian Civil Service but like his father Joseph Hume, a radical member of parliament, he was bold and outspoken in questioning British policies in India. He rose in 1871 to the position of secretary to the Department of Revenue, Agriculture, and Commerce under Lord Mayo. His criticism of Lord Lytton led to his removal from the Secretariat in 1879.
He founded the journal Stray Feathers in which he and his subscribers recorded notes on birds from across India. He built up a vast collection of bird specimens at his home in Shimla by making collection expeditions and obtaining specimens through his network of correspondents.
