Answer 1

Answer:

Indian National Conference is called as predecessor of Indian National Congress. Its main organisers were Surendranath Banerjee and Anandamohan Bose. The first session of the National Conference was held in Calcutta on December 28 - 30, 1883 and was attended by more than a hundred delegates from different parts of India.

Answer 2

Answer: Sir Surendranath Banerjee (10 November 1848 – 6 August 1925) was one of the earliest Indian political leaders during the British Rule. He founded the Indian National Association, through which he led two sessions of the Indian National Conference in 1883 and 1885, along with Anandamohan Bose. Banerjee later became a senior leader of the Indian National Congress. Surendranath welcomed Montagu–Chelmsford Reforms, unlike Congress, and with many liberal leaders he left Congress and founded a new organisation named Indian National Liberation Federation in 1919. He was one of the founding members of the Indian National Congress.
