    The Indian National Congress was founded in 1885 in Bombay by 72 delegates led by W.C Banerjee and A.O Hume. Its aim was to provide a safety valve for expressing political demands to the British government and to train Indian youth in political agitation. In its early years, Congress leaders adopted moderate methods of protest, prayer, and petition. However, some became disillusioned with this approach and extremism grew within Congress after 1892 under leaders who emphasized self-reliance, constructive work, and swadeshi movement.

     On 28 December 1885 Indian National Congress (INC) was

    founded on the premises of Gokuldas Tejpal Sanskrit School at Bombay.


    It was presided over by W.C Banerjee and attended by 72 delegates. A.O
    Hume played an instrumental role in the foundation of INC with an aim to
    provide Safety Valve to the British Government.
     A.O Hume served as the first General Secretary of INC.
     Real Aim of Congress is to train the Indian youth in political
    agitation and to organise or to create public opinion in the country. For
    this, they use the method of an annual session where they discuss the
    problem and passed the resolution.
     The first or early phase of Indian Nationalism is also termed
    as Moderate Phase (1885-1905). Moderate leaders were W.C Banerjee,
    Gopal Krishna Gokhale, R.C Dutt, Ferozeshah Mehta, George Yule, etc.
     Moderates have full faith in British Government and adopted PPP
    path i.e. Protest, Prayer, and Petition.
     Due to disillusionment from Moderates methods of
    work, extremism began to develop within the congress after 1892.
    The Extremist leaders were Lala Lajpat Rai, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Bipin
    Chandra Pal, and Aurobindo Ghosh. Instead of PPP path they emphasise
    on self-reliance, constructive work, and swadeshi.
     With the announcement of Partition of Bengal (1905) by Lord
    Curzon for administrative convenience, Swadeshi and Boycott resolution
    was passed in 1905.
