Question

how does the feeling of nationalism in Indians grew???

Answer 1

The second half of the 19th century witnessed he full flowering of national political consciousness and the growth of an organised national movement in India. The year 1885 marks the beginning of a new epoch in Indian History.

Indian National Congress was founded in December 1885 by seventy-two political workers. It was the first organised expression of Indian Nationalism on an all-India scale.

The rise and growth of Indian nationalism has been traditionally explained in terms of Indian response to the stimulus generated by the British Raj through creation of new institutions, new opportunities, etc.
