The Foundation of Indian National Congress

1878… a rogue legislation ‘Vernacular Press Act, 1878’ by the British viceroy Lord Lytton censured Indian printing presses from publishing anything which the British found threatening. 1883… an English civil servant brings in a law ‘Ilbert Bill, 1883’ empowering Indian native Magistrates and the Session Judges to hear trial against the European natives for the heinous crimes. Till then only European origin judicial officer could have heard the case against his compatriots. 28 December 1885… Those two developments, though five years apart, led to a very special meeting of 72 Indians and some British origin legal luminaries under the guidance of one Scottish origin ex-Indian Civil Service officer Allan Octavian Hume… What started as a mere congregation of intellectuals was to change the course of Indian sub-continent forever. Come and join me in this episode of ‘The Open Format’ as I share a story of how one small meeting was to become a mass movement which brought an empire to its knees and went on to build a modern democratic nation from its ethnically diverse yet complex past. #indiannationalcongress #india #history #podcast #education #educationalvideo #freedommovement #gandhi #politicalnews
