Question

official attitude towards the congress​

Answer 1

Answer:

The official attitude of the British colonial government towards the Indian National Congress manifested in the following ways:

• During the Initial stages, the British government was not completely averse to the Indian National Congress. However, as the Congress refused to toe the official line and became the epicenter of nationalist struggle for home rule, this favourable attitude changed. In 1887, Lord Dufferin ridiculed the Congress as representing only a ‘microscopic minority of the people’ and other British officials branded Congress leaders as ‘disloyal babus’ and ‘violent villains’.
• In 1890, government employees were forbidden from participating in Congress meetings.
• The British responded to the Congress’ efforts to unite Indians by resorting to their ‘divide and rule’ policy again. They encouraged Sayyid Ahmad Khan, Raja Shiva Prasad of Banaras and other pro-British elements to start an anti-Congress movement. They also tried to foment the Hindu-Muslim tensions and tried to draw away minority communities from the Congress by granting them minor concessions.
