in which year the indian national congress was formed
Indian National Congress The Indian National Congress ( pronunciation (help·info)) (INC, often called Congress Party) is a broadly based political party in India.[14] Founded in 1885, it was the first modern nationalist movement to emerge in the British Empire in Asia and Africa.[a][15] From the late 19th century, and especially after 1920, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, Congress became the principal leader of the Indian independence movement, with over 15 million members and over 70 million participants.[16] Congress led India to independence from Great Britain,[b][17][c][18] and powerfully influenced other anti-colonial nationalist movements in the British Empire.[d][15]
Union Public Service Commission Established on 1 October 1926 as Public Service Commission, it was later reconstituted as Federal Public Service Commission by the Government of India Act, 1935; only to be renamed as today's Union Public Service Commission after the independence.[7][8]
History of the Indian National Congress From its foundation on 28 December 1885 by A.O Hume, a retired British officer, until the time of independence of India on 15 August 1947, the Indian National Congress was considered to be the largest and most prominent Indian public organization, and central and defining influence of the Indian Independence Movement.[citation needed]
