    Indian National Congress

    The Indian National Congress (INC), generally referred as Congress, is one of the major political parties in India.

    The party is currently in opposition to the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party at the center.

    The INC was founded in 1885 during British colonial rule and played a pivotal role in India's struggle for independence from British imperialism.

    Leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel, and others were instrumental in shaping the party's ideology and leadership.

    The INC was initially founded with the goal of obtaining a greater share in government for educated Indians. Over time, its objectives evolved to include complete independence from British rule.

    Today, the INC positions itself as a center-left party with a focus on inclusive development, social justice, and secularism.

    The INC was at the forefront of India's struggle for independence. Through non-violent civil disobedience movements, mass protests, and other methods, the party mobilized millions of Indians against British rule.

    After India gained independence in 1947, the INC became the dominant political force in the country. Jawaharlal Nehru, a key leader of the INC, became India's first Prime Minister.

    The party continued to lead the country for most of the sub
