The Indian National Congress was established in 1885.

The Indian National Congress is a political party in India with widespread roots. Founded in 1885, it was the first modern nationalist movement to emerge in the British Empire in Asia and Africa. At the beginning the party contained moderates and later extremists , but from the late 19th century, and especially after 1920, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, the Congress became the principal leader of the Indian independence movement.

The Indian National Congress played a leading role in the Indian independence movement. It organized protests and boycotts against British rule, and it campaigned for Indian self-government. The Congress also played a key role in drafting the Indian constitution after independence.

Today, the Indian National Congress is one of the two major political parties in India. It has won more general elections than any other party in India. The Congress is a center-left party that advocates for social justice and economic development.
