Formed in 1885 by Allan Octavian Hume, a retired British civil servant.
Other founding members include Dadabhai Naoroji (Born on September 4, 1825) and Dinshaw Wacha.
The first session was held in Bombay under the presidency of Womesh Chandra Bonnerjee in 1885.
The first session was attended by 72 delegates from across the country.
Viceroy of India at the time was Lord Dufferin who gave his permission to Hume for the first session.
The Congress was formed with the intention of discussing problems faced by the people of the country irrespective of caste, creed, religion or language.
It was basically a movement of the upper and middle class, western-educated Indians in its moderate phase.
The second session of the Congress was held in Calcutta in 1886 followed by the third in Madras in 1887.
