More about A.O. Hume:

Allan Octavian Hume, often referred to as A.O. Hume, was a prominent British civil servant, ornithologist, and political reformer.  Hume was also a passionate ornithologist and is often considered the "Father of Indian Ornithology." Hume played a crucial role in the formation of the Indian National Congress (INC). He is credited with organizing the first session of the Indian National Congress in 1885, which marked the beginning of the organized political movement for Indian independence. Although Hume's role in the Indian independence movement is sometimes overshadowed by other leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, his contributions to the formation of the Indian National Congress and the early stages of the independence movement are significant.
