major political parties in India. It is the largest
and one of the oldest democratically-operating
political parties in the
world. The party's
modern liberal platform
is largely considered
centre-left wing in
Indian political
spectrum

Theosophical Society Allan Octavian Hume, Dadabhai
Naoroji, Dinshaw Wacha, Womesh Chandra Bonnerjee,
Surendranath Banerjee,
Monomohun Ghose, Mahadev
Govind Ranade] and William
Wedderburn the Indian
National Congress became a
pivotal participant in the Indian
Independence Movement, with
over 15 million members and
over 70 million participants in
its struggle against British
colonial rule in India. After independence in 1947, it
became the nation's dominant political party, led by the
Nehru-Gandhi family for the most part; major
challenges for party leadership have only recently
formed.

his Satyagraha art of revolution came Sardar Vallabhbhai

Mohammad Abbas
Khan, Khan Abdul Ghaffar
Khan, Chakravarti
Rajgopalachari , Dr .
Narayan Sinha,Jayaprakash
Narayan, and Maulana Abul
Kalam Azad. With the
already existing nationalistic
feeling combined with Gandhi's popularity, the Congress
became a forceful and dominant group of people in the country,
bringing together millions of people by specifically working
against caste differences, untouchability, poverty, and religious
and ethnic boundaries.

8. In the 2009 general elections, the Congress
emerged as the single largest party in the
Lok Sabha, with 206 of its candidates getting
elected to the 543-
member house.
Consequently it, as
a member of a
coalition of
political
organisations
called the United Progressive Alliance (UPA),
was able to gain a majority and form the
government.

civil rights and freedom across the
world. He became the leader of

Gandhi led nationwide campaigns for
easing poverty, expanding women's
rights, building religious and ethnic
amity, ending untouchability,
increasing economic self-reliance, and
above all for achieving Swaraj—the independence of India from British
domination.

social liberalism, secularism and free enterprise with
