Indian National Congress

The Indian National Congress (INC) is a major political party in India, founded in 1885. It played a pivotal role in the country's struggle for independence from British rule. Initially focused on reforms, it later became the primary organization advocating for complete independence, especially under leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru. After India gained independence in 1947, the INC became the dominant political party, shaping the nation's early policies. Today, it continues to influence Indian politics, promoting secularism, democracy, and social justice, though it has faced challenges and competition from other parties.
